The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship. If you enjoy the forums and you'd like to help offset the cost, please consider a venmo donation here

The carjacker was able to get into the SUV and attempt to drive away, then wrecked it, causing a lot of damage. It appears to be that it might be a vehicle actually owned by the driver, instead of the larger Amazon delivery vans I occasionally see in my 'hood. Since Amazon will fire drivers who carry, even if they are defending themselves instead of the vehicle, if I worked for them (highly unlikely) I definitely would not use a vehicle that I personally own. Amazon wants me to give up their vehicle, fine. They can even have a (fake) wallet and a cellphone (one of the 2 or 3g ones with no service that are now worthless)
Amazon Flex people use their own vehicles. The Amazon vans you see delivering packages are leased. The driver may be the one leasing it or someone leases a number of them and employs the people driving them. Amazon does micromanage via an app the driver carries. Amazon insists you deliver X packages in Y minutes. If you figure out how to deliver X packages in less than Y minutes consistently, Amazon will start requiring you to deliver X+Z packages in Y minutes. City drivers do well. Country drivers are not fans of the system.
