I don't think you should be downvoted. Its amazing to me that people will spout high minded "living wage" nonsense and then spend an hour on their computer searching for the cheapest retailer on the whole internet. If Amazon took the advice and paid higher, the products would cost more and the web-potificators would congratulate them profusely for their magnanimity while putting them straight out of business with their buying habits. Amazon is huge so it distorts the picture and seems to muddle the thinking a bit but even the largest of ships are beached by a receding tide. I'm not saying that this is the desired order of things, just things work at the moment.
