Wow. I wrote about this at length in my book on logistics, I never thought any politician would do anything about it.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

This 2019 story feels relevant today. Did it end with the 737 Max—or was it policy? Cutting costs to near-minimum wage shouldn’t be priority over lives & safety.

Warner Bros attempted to do an entire $90 million film non-union in the US by “subcontracting” every single job to a single company. So IATSE went out and unionized the whole damn thing.

Transport experts calling competitive tendering of regional trains "subcontracting" is really stupid.
You might disagree with competitive tendering, but it is not subcontracting.

Deutsche Bahn is plagued with delays but at least you get, uh, top quality information about your delay. And possible alternatives.
Except that doesn't apply if the rail service has been subcontracted.

I read a couple of Trump biographies somewhat recently. Not paying, subcontracting, skipping out on deals — all part of how he got here.
Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president.
The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free.

The Trump administration throwing Leonard Leo and his Federalist Society under the bus shows that loyalty for Donald is a one-way street.
And if "only I can fix it," why is Donald blindly subcontracting out such important decisions to someone else?
