Seems large corporations have forgotten the rule of "don't shit where you eat" and are now competing for who can shit where they eat the most and still not catch cholera, while calling it "efficiency". And of course anyone telling them to not shit where they eat is some lazy socialist. Human nature I suppose, it's on those of us of working age to start cleaning up the shit just like our grandparents and great-grandparents did in their day. Getting the 40 hour work week and Social Security took decades of blood, why should our problems require any less?

- bequanna 3y agoI suppose Amazon’s argument is that they are paying “above market wages for above market job performance”. I think some interesting questions are: Why can Amazon still stretch workers in this way even with an ongoing labor shortage? At what point does it make sense to go all in on automating many of the picking jobs? The equivalent of $30/hr? $40?
