This shows a distinct lack of understanding of how crappy it can be when you're poor.
It takes awhile for a new job to cut that first check. In America, usually around a month.
That month can be insanely scary with no money and mouths to feed.
- sneak 5y agoThat's why welfare, food assistance programs, and unemployment exist. Amazon (and every other employer) pays in to those programs by law when employing people.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoHah, is this naivete, or just obtuseness? And the CEOs or their lobbyists go to state and federal capitols to lobby for destruction of these programs, or "donate" to politicians' election campaigns with "wink wink, you know what we want."...
- imwillofficial 5y agoThese programs also take awhile to get money into the account. For the poor, losing a job arbitrarily, with no protections, even cultural, can be massively life disrupting.
