This is so depressing. A man died, succumbing to injuries due to an unsafe workplace, and all it took was a meager payment and a promise - not even realized - to build HQ2 in Indiana for the state to drop the investigation and blame the man for his own death. Horrifying.

Also.. even Pakistani politicians would charge more than $1000 for this I feel?

“The same day Stallone sent his whistleblower email, Amazon’s corporate offices in Seattle gave a $1,000 campaign contribution to Indiana’s governor. It was years before Holcomb would next face reelection, and Amazon hasn’t donated to him before or since.

A year after Terry’s death, Indiana officials quietly signed an agreement with Amazon to delete all the safety citations and fines. The agreement said Amazon had met the requirements of an “unpreventable employee misconduct defense.” The official record now essentially blames Terry for his own death.”
