Sigh, what a stupid system this is.
I know it's a website for bicycles, but it's kinda funny to me that there are adverts for multiple-thousand-dollar bicycles in an article about how there's a dumpster full of perfectly fine bicycles up for grabs in the alley behind target.
Most of those $1000+ are gonna be ebikes these days, which tend to serve a different market segment.
remembering that brief day of news where it was found Amazon was just mulching huge amounts of unsold product
Supposedly some of it goes to that stores where they just have cloth hampers filled with damaged goods that people pay for by weight, but when I worked at Amazon basically anything that fell onto the floors and got scuffed by the robots was marked damaged and thrown in a big trash bin.
The amount of perfectly fine goods thrown out makes me more anti-capitalist than any other fact. Any system that incentivizes that is pure evil
