This is sad but is not Amazons fault. The people of the western world need to demand Universal Basic Income. Maybe if the government provided such a safety net, Amazon would have to pay people more to get them to work.

In the US, at least, we seem to have elected a President with a mandate of dismantling what little regulatory and progressive protections already exist, adding more would be culturally and politically unthinkable. We'll see the repeal of the minimum wage and the establishment of China-style "free trade zones" long before we see UBI.
