Don't question a monopoly that is exploiting. Instead question those being exploited. Slow claps.

- some_account 8y agoYou can question Amazon all you want. As long as there are workers choosing their jobs, they are going to continue hiring people. It's like the meat packing industry... People die there in big numbers, but it just continues.
- walterbell 8y agoThere is a well known history of organized labor ("workers") improving working conditions via labor law.
- andyidsinga 8y agoThe meat packing industry has a rather interesting history around organized labor - and for a period of time - that organization improving pay and conditions. see: http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/250/meat-packing.html http://www.pbs.org/now/shows/250/meat-packing.html
- cabaalis 8y agoThis is a forum. Maybe things aren't always straightforward. It doesn't hurt to ask questions, it does hurt to silence them.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoNo, it does hurt to blame the victims.
- cabaalis 8y agoTo state "It's off limits to ask the people involved why they continue to put themselves in such a horrible situation" is unscientific. Nobody is blaming anyone by asking a question.
- s73v3r_ 8y ago"Nobody is blaming anyone by asking a question." That's not true. Many times people use the "asking questions" as a ruse to do just that, and erode support for these people by saying it's their own fault for being exploited. And, quite frankly, I don't care one iota why they stay; there is exactly zero legitimate reason for them to be treated like that. Bezos should be so ashamed of himself that he would be unwilling to show his face in public.
- Eire_Banshee 8y agoIs it not reasonable to do both? Like, amazon is exploitative, sure, but if its so bad that the employee is gonna kill themselves... maybe take a step back and re-evaluate if the job is worth your life?
