Among the losers anyway. Pretty hard to pick a bigger loser in this equation than the humble Uber driver or Amazon warehouse worker.
- dns_snek 3y agoElaborate, how are employees bigger losers than retail investors? The former would have to find new jobs, the latter could be screwed out of their life savings.
- DrScientist 3y agoI don't know the truth of working conditions and salaries - but let me give you some scenarios. You lose your job at Amazon competitor and start to work for Amazon. - You are paid less ( let's say 2.5% ) - that massively compounds over a lifetime and/or -your quality of life at work is much less - and that's about half your waking hours for most of the week - so I'd call that a big deal.
- monocasa 3y agoRetail investors more or less know they're gambling. Employees are just expecting an honest wage for an honest day's work.
- excalibur 3y agoOkay, I'll go burn some money on bad investments. You shit in a diaper 10 hours a day (because if you go to the bathroom too many times you get fired) for the privilege of sliding further and further into debt in an attempt to live on $15/hr. We'll see who the bigger loser is.
