After an 11-week investigation, Indiana #safety officials found that Amazon failed to ensure a #workplace β€œfree from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause #death” and issued a serious safety citation.

The #penalty? A $7,000 fine, the maximum in Indiana.

This is what happens when you deregulate everything and rely on the self-regulation of the market.
