If you knew someone working at an Amazon Warehouse position who needed to use government benefits to get by, would you consider them "well" or even "fairly" paid?
- Fernicia 2y agoWhat is your null hypothesis here? Would they be better off if Amazon moved their warehouse to another state or country?
- Symbiote 2y agoAmazon can raise prices slightly.

- Fauntleroy 2y agoThe "hypothesis" is that you can, in fact, dislike it when people are criminally underpaid by corporations, even if it is supposedly a "good" wage.
- nonameloser 2y agoThe point is that amazon isn't doing anything nefarious in paying people minimum wage
- rendang 2y agoBy that logic, if we had universal health care, you could then say every single person who chooses to use it instead of buying private insurance "needs govt benefits to get by" and is therefore not well paid.
- missedthecue 2y agoThey either aren't working very many hours or they have a lot of dependents. There is no other way to legally qualify for government benefits even at the lowest wages Amazon pays. If you have several children and are a single parent, should Amazon pay you 2x or 3x your childless coworkers, just to keep you off of government support?
