00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: on Amazon, city's largest employer, the company that's responsible for

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: creating more jobs than any other business in that town.

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,920

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,479

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy,

14
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,360
