I find his white knighting of a higher national min wage to be completely self serving as it will hurt young , unskilled workers the most and probably his competition.

That’s odd, I don’t recall any complaints about low minimum wages, the Walmarts, etc prior to now. Surely it couldn’t be because the dude is anti-trump?

That's hilarious, I'm a long ways away from being a die hard repug. Unlike yourself I happen to work for a living so I do care about working people, you know, the people who actually make a difference in this country and that does not include useless light bulb salesmen like yourself.

Surely it couldn’t be because the dude is anti-trump? When it comes to Amazon low wages are not the only offense. Poor working conditions is really a problem for them. As I sit here at my place of work I am less than 1000 feet away from one of Amazon's huge distribution centers which for me makes their treatment of employees a local story. At no time have they been able to get employees in CT by paying the minimum wage and in fact as time has gone on they have had to pay much more. Bezos runs a sweat shop but it would seem as long as he shares your political views you are fine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
