My tax dollars shouldn't subsidize bigco's support system
- maxehmookau 3y agoWait till you hear about your tax dollars subsidizing bigco's poverty wages.
- gndk 3y agoAh yes, the famous FAAMG poverty wages ;)
- crote 3y agoYou joke, but they do indeed pay poverty wages to a lot of their staff. Google and Facebook have their content moderators work at essentially minimum wage, and Amazon has order pickers pee in bottles to keep up with the expected volume. Apple has their products manufactured by Foxconn, which is well-known for installing anti-suicide nets on their buildings. Not everyone is a well-paid software engineer, you know.

I.e. they outsource the work to an agency which get contractors to do the work for them. Over the years we've had such controversies from all multinational corporations. I'm just pointing this out as I noticed your comment being grayed out, and hopefully the person that downvoted you did so because of this technicality, and not because you had the audacity to critique Apple
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago> they're all going through legal hoops to separate themselves from these employees. I hope you don't mean to imply that it doesn't absolve them of the moral/ethical responsibility.

- cyanydeez 3y agoWalmart.
- jasonlotito 3y agoSo they can tax companies directly.
- mozman 3y agoThat will eventually come out of my paycheck.
- jasonlotito 3y agoI honestly can't tell if you are being serious or trying to make some joke. If you are being serious, what you said makes no sense to me. Why do you think taxes that are applied to companies will instead be a tax against your paycheck? Note: increased cost for products is not what we are talking about. Pretending a tax on everyone is the same as a price increase on an optional product misses the point entirely. So please, answer the question.
