Amazon will reimburse its staff in the US up to $4,000 in travel expenses annually for a range of non-life threatening medical treatments, including elective abortions, as conservative-led laws look to block access in many states. The online retail giant's decision comes after a leaked memo on Monday revealed that the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide. In a message sent to Amazon employees on Monday, obtained by Reuters, Amazon told its employees that the new work benefit would apply to an employee if an operation could not be done within 100 miles of their home

This is the same company that fights unionization and punishes warehouse workers who need to use the restroom while on the job.

Amazon has become a political activist organization, and should be required to register. WaPo is their company owned mouth organ.

Amazon can reimburse for whatever they want but abortion is not medical care - unless Mengele was rendering good care when he used Zyklon B.

Sounds like a free trip for some employees. They really, really thought they needed ''medical care'' so just had to travel to New York for a week.

That 1st draft Supreme Court decision does not interfere with non live threatening medical care, so why is Amazon paying its employees to go far away from home to see a doctor? They don’t even know what the final Supreme Court ruling will entail? Seems like they are using the Supreme Court leak to try to turn up the political pot!

The Center, New York City’s LGBTQ community center, is celebrating the life and legacy of Keith Haring by renaming a wing after the beloved late artist. On Wednesday, on what would’ve been Haring’s 64th birthday, The Center announced a new name for its annex building: the Keith Haring Community Wing. The Reading, Pa.-born pop artist, whose drawings went from the graffiti subculture of downtown New York to the walls of some of the world’s most prestigious museums, died of AIDS-related complications in February 1990 at the age of 31. During his short-lived career, Haring used his unmistakable images of colorful, almost child-like images as a powerful tool

A sledgehammer-wielding robber smashed through a Bronx jewelry store’s front window, snatching $20,000 in chains and pendants, surveillance video obtained by The Post Wednesday shows. Screams can be heard on the video from inside M & NP Jewelers on White Plains Road during the smash and grab around 4 p.m. Sunday–before a roll-down gate nearly ensnares the culprit. A witness told the NYPD “three unknown individuals broke the store window with a sledgehammer” and “removed assorted jewelry,” police said in a statement.

President Biden on Monday said his sweeping plan to forgive student loan debt is still under development. Speaking at a White House awards ceremony for federal workers, Mr. Biden was asked whether he has finished his proposal to wipe up massive amounts of student debt for borrowers. “Not yet,” he responded. Mr. Biden is said to be mulling the forgiveness of a minimum of $10,000 in student loan debt per borrower through an executive order. The plan represents a massive shift from his earlier more cautious approach he has taken since entering the White House. It also represents a thorny path for the administration as fears mount that a broad

The Walt Disney Co. has lost nearly $63 billion in market capitalization since it decided in March to embrace radical LGBTQ activism and declare war on Florida by opposing the state’s Parental Rights in Education law. Shares of Disney have plummeted 23.5 percent since the start of March, falling from $145.70. Market cap is down $62.6 billion, from $265.3 to $202.7 billion. For the past 12 months, Disney has seen its stock drop more than 30 percent, making it the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Disney’s free fall comes as the company has embraced woke, far-left politics, specifically the exposure of young children to radical LGBTQ ideology.
