You're proposing that Amazon's employees, customers, and shareholders pay out of their pockets to fund your social engineering project.
How about this instead: You get together with a bunch of your social justice-y friends, pool a few hundred million dollars, then offer it to Amazon, on the condition that they start serving these neighborhoods.
Everyone wins! The only difference is that now you are the one who has to pay for your virtue-signaling social crusade. But you're cool with that right?
- flashman 10y agoHmm. Amazon puts a few pennies extra onto my items, and poor communities get access to a service that's much cheaper than shopping at a convenience store? Freeing up their capital to spend elsewhere in the economy, like on products and services my company offers? Where do I sign up?
- Snargorf 10y agoGreat! Hey lusen - you've got a guy here willing to pay a few pennies to the social justice virtue signaling fund! This guy really puts his money where is mouth is! Just find a billion more people at his level of commitment and you'll be golden.
- flashman 10y agoSarcasm aside, what's a few pennies per sale on $105bn in sales?
- ajkjk 10y agoA huge percentage (perhaps the entirety?) of their margins?
- jasonpeacock 10y agoBecause Amazon's profit is only a few pennies per sale. You're basically asking Amazon to double their profit margin by raising prices, and then give away half of it to fix social injustice?
