could that happen to amazon? do you think? i, i don't think so, you know, i was able to obtain lots of internal documents and reporting out this book. hundreds of pages have been turned off. financials that amazon doesn't disclose to wall street or to the external public. and i found that germany is one of its biggest markets in the world. they've had wild success in germany, and it feels like there's a similar to nomic playing out there, as it does here, where the warehouse workers have said that they're not being fairly compensator. they don't like the working conditions were smaller retailers have hard, hard time competing, even bigger retailers have had a hard time competing with amazon. right. so i think there's a very similar to an amec and i think we're walmart failed. amazon has really done a great job globally getting its, its regional operation to take off as well as the cloud computing operations. i mean, when we, when we think of working here in germany, germany is a very worker rights friendly place. in general, t

do you think amazon can be broken now as well? if the f t c went, it's lost, it's definitely a possibility. if you read the last 2 closely, they say that they are looking at structure of on remedies, which is code for a break up at. but the big question to little too late are all of these kinds of goals that i just described, cloud computing, e commerce, logistics, are they all ready so big so entrenched, so much a part of daily life that if they were to be broken up that they just become officially the number one player in the space on their own and accumulate more power that's, you know, you know, i think regulate. busy rustling that, another giant retailer walmart, like amazon ventured beyond the united states. it's set up shop right here in germany, walmart, and like amazon did not last last year in germany. workers' rights, the power of unions. you know, all of these things came together in may. walmart's business model unworkable here . could that happen to amazon? do you think? i don't think so. you know, i was able to obta

amazon.ine giant has been moving more aggressively into hands-on medicine, including last year when it bought “one medical”, a business providing primary care, with scores of clinics across the country. but recent reporting from the washington post is highlighting new concerns about patient safety. leaked documents show more than a dozen patients' safety was put at risk when their care was handled by call center staffers with little to no medical training. caroline o'donovan is a tech reporter covering amazon for the washington post. i want to start with the big picture. can you talk about how significant you think this move is by amazon in general, and how significant for health care in america is it that amazon is looking to get into this market? >> absolutely. amazon is the second largest employer in the united states, it's an absolutely massive company. it has an entire cloud computing company inside of it. it's one of the biggest retail companies in the country. one medical, the primary

companies like amazon are bigger than most national economies. amazon is valued over $2 trillion. that makes it the 14th largest economy in the world. what is sickening is that amazon has abandoned any national allegiance. amazon's sole focus is on lending its own pockets. remember, elites have no party. elites have no nation. their loyalty is to the balance sheet and the stock price at the expense of the american worker. in my office in washington, d.c. i can see the united states capital from my window. i see well-intentioned people arrived in washington and get eaten up by an unforgiving system. the responsibility to average americans takes a backseat. the objective now becomes survival. fundraiser after fundraiser. corporate consultants hedge every initiative. the help crawls with lifers -- hills crawls with lifers bouncing from government jobs to corporate jobs and back again. i think we can all agree d.c. is a treacherous area. most legislation is never meant to go anywhere and it's all talk. in america, talk isn't cheap. it is expensive and comes at the cost of our own coun

did you order anything on amazon? workers, though, are paying the price for amazon prime day. that's the finding of a year long senate investigation. a senate committee finds prime day is a major cause of amazon worker injuries, in part due to understaffing, the report shows. during prime day in 2019, there were nearly 45 injuries per 100 workers that amounts to nearly half of amazon's warehouse staff, an amazon spokesperson says the report ignores the progress the company has made, and misrepresents outdated documents. amazon prime day, by the way, is the annual two day event which started today. well, a san jose volleyball star is about to take on the world in paris. the men's volleyball team is returning with nine olympians, but for one local, it will be his first. his name is taylor averell. he attended branham high school in south san jose. he played for the national team since 2014 and professionally across europe. however, the olympics are brand new opportunity. yeah, i'm so grateful that i get to share the volleyball journey with everyon. and, yeah, so proud of myself.

of amazon's prime day event. and congress says that it's actually linked to a higher number of workplace injuries. a report released from a senate committee shows that amazon warehouse workers are more than twice as likely to be injured while they're working during this two-day event. the findings in the report revealed that amazon's total injury rate during prime day in 2019. it was just under 45 injuries per 100 workers. that's including injuries that the company did not report to the department of labor. amazon says that the senate committee report fails to address the company's progress in reducing injuries. well, were speaking of prime day, along with the best deals. you might also find the biggest scams business experts are warning online buyers to be wary of phishing scams. they say to look out for unsolicited e-mail calls it ads on social media. that seems too good to be true if it seems suspicious report it. >> if you see a bunch of 5 star reviews that all of that, they were written recently or they have
