Dear Dingo:
Many criticize the Native Alaskan tribes that occasionally partake in a whale hunt. Understandably, eating whale blubber could appear archaic to some--yet at least this grim task is performed for the purpose of feeding a community.
On the other hand, ocean vessel strikes are increasingly killing more and more whales every year, some environmental organizations estimate it could be 20,000 whales annually!
Where is the outrage towards these "shipping container harpoons"?
Answer:
Amazon Global Logistics brags about their efficient cargo ships, continuously increasing their fleet, barrelling through the oceans to quickly supply American consumers with giant containers full of crap from China. Bringing inflatable snowmen, rapid egg cookers, rubber dog toys, spin mops and knock off designer hand bags-- all obviously life and death essentials.
According to statista.com, Amazon now controls 37% of global e-commerce, vs 6% Walmart. Other numbers indicate Amazon could own up to 52% of the e-market share! And don't even get me started on how much Americans spend monthly on Amazon purchases, it's pretty shocking. And no surprise here-- these "essentials" are mostly being shipped from overseas.
So we can congratulate Jeff B. for being the leader in something once again. Little did he know it would be captain of his own personal whaling fleet.
