Yet they’re still paying a fuck ton of money in taxes. Probably 100x what you make in a year

“Exploiting workers” to you means not paying an Amazon delivery driver $300k a year

What it really means is laying off workers and keeping their wages the same when you as CEO receive a $300M bonus on retirement even tho every single quarter under you was a net loss

Nobody is making fucking $7.25 an hour at Amazon. I’m really sorry but working in a factory doing a monkey’s job does not qualify you to live a lavish lifestyle Creating a company that changes the global supply chain, reinvigorates online shopping, and makes everyone’s life’s easier does qualify you for said lifestyle.

That’s not the factory I’m talking about. I’m taking about people who’s jobs are to literally find a product in the warehouse and box it to be shipped.

You are so fucking stupid if you think that’s true. A monkey cannot create a company. A monkey can put a product in a fucking box.

Our economy shouldn’t entirely be based on manufacturing, but some of it needs to come back here. We need to stop being so dependent on other countries for production of goods. But yeah, considering I’m white collar I have no business being on that line lol
