that Amazon also refused to allow employees at their warehouse to take shelter during the tornado warnings? A lot has been said about people at the candle factory in Kentucky, but after Amazon denied that it forced people at the warehouse to work through the warnings, no more has been said about it. Are media catering to Amazon by dropping coverage of the event?

The candle factory and Amazon should be investigated for their actions. I hope that civil suits will give huge compensations to the people who file them on behalf of the deceased. It won't bring them back, but it will hold the murderers accountable. They should be charged with negligent homicide.
