I mean yes but that's like saying Bitcoin is used by criminals to buy drugs and weapons. The problem is that's not their only use.

The answer is yes. That's why PACs exist. You are not donating to the candidates. You are donating to an organization that promotes the candidate.

You forgot to add "where they get all the profits." It's the exact same play that big oil used to slow down the roll out of renewables and EVs.

I hear what you're saying but I'd rather not risk that possibility in today's political climate.

Fines should be paid directly to the workers that had to work under these conditions. They should also be paid in multiples of yearly salary, it's a trillion dollar company. The company pays more as a consequence and those that suffered get compensation. Maybe also a percentage should go to the agency (not Amazon related) overseeing this kind of thing like the NLRB.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. They will just change the laws to make it illegal and sue you/us.

Adding to this. The judge said "It engenders the same fear that January 6 does." So if this crime is just as bad Jan 6, shouldn't he be getting the same punishment as other Jan 6 traitors. Like you said, a shorter sentence. Not saying I agree with the judge but pick a side.
