      If the other person wants to say "Yes, I am totally glad that Amazon gave these people jobs, and Amazon is good for doing that, and I take back my statement where I attack amazon, for profiting, by giving people these jobs", then that would be great. But if they are unwilling to explicitly say that amazon giving these people these jobs is a good thing, then I think that says a lot. Specifically, they should say, it is a good thing for amazon to "opportunistically". give these people those jobs, instead of saying that this "opportunistic" behavior of giving people those jobs is bad.

        If they're paying them less than living wages - specifically, if they are paying them less than anyone else doing the same job - it's opportunistic. If they are making a point of hiring ex-inmates and giving them all the same pay, benefits, etc, as anyone else, I take my statement back.

  > opportunistically turn a profit Would you have felt the same way when companies started hiring former slaves, chinese, irish, italians, women, etc.? What you're identifying is a market advantage that companies can gain by being non-discriminatory. You've zeroed in on a major strength of free market economics. Bigotry costs companies money.
