- svachalek 7y agoSo did slavers, or parents wouldn't have agreed to sell them their children.
- ttoinou 7y agoYes, children can be put in a more productive environment thanks to this
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoThey provide shitty jobs for a lot of desperate people. If we don't work towards a world with good working conditions, we won't work in good conditions.
- ttoinou 7y agoImproving conditions has a cost. Would you rather see them unemployed?
- egypturnash 7y agoPaying them more and having Bezos and the other people at the top of Amazon not be rich enough to buy entire countries is an option, too.
- garethgriffiths 7y agoA level playing field would be better. As is bosses of companies a being paid huge multiples of what their employees can expect to earth
- TaylorAlexander 7y agofalse choice. I would rather see the profits to shareholders reduced sufficiently to pay for fair working conditions. Actually I lied. I would rather see a network of cooperatively owned companies replace Amazon where all workers in that system have good jobs, no one is a billionaire, and money spent stays more local.
- nickpp 7y agoWhat’s stopping you build it then? Bezos built his vision, now it’s your turn!
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoI’m working on it.
- ttoinou 7y agoGreat! Good luck
- WalterBright 7y ago> They provide shitty jobs for a lot of desperate people. I know many millionaire employees of Amazon.
- TaylorAlexander 7y agoI’m not talking about every employee. I’m talking about certain jobs amazon offers that are anti-human.
- AngryData 7y agoThat is assuming those employees aren't desperate for work. Had we adequate social welfare, or a glut of unfulfilled good jobs, I might agree, but when your choice is "die or work at the level we want", they aren't really given a real choice.
- p1necone 7y agoThis is incredibly naive (or disingenuous?). When the alternative is just not having a job people will take a lot of shit, that doesn't mean it's okay.
- Mirioron 7y agoAnd if the company didn't exist they wouldn't have the option of having that job. How is it not beneficial to have the company to those people?
- p1necone 7y agoGood thing that theres plenty of other options on the scale between uncaring capitalist monster and no company at all.
- Mirioron 7y agoThe more filters you add to companies the fewer successful ones you'll have. Filtering out companies from our current selection would leave you with fewer of them, not more.
