Agree with all that. The criticism is that this is a big, American company, one of the largest and most impactful ever, that makes lots of money and is quite profitable, and yet pays its workers low enough that they need to be subsidized with tax dollars. Your tax dollars are given to Amazon's workers, so that Amazon can continue employing them for low wages, and the money saved by paying low wages is going into the shareholder's pockets. Is that a system that you are happy with, and would be fine with continuing in perpetuity?
Obviously, there isn't a silver bullet, and every potential solution has thorns, but are food stamps really meant to perpetually sustain individuals that make low wages at companies that can afford to pay them more?
