Yeah because Amazon kills off all the competition.
They also killed a huge amount of e-commerce sites with their sheer size. This isn't really about tech more about their monopoly.
People are still fling to buy shit. Maybe they have to do it locally instead? Probably some other company would step up to replace their monopoly. It's only be an improvement.
If Amazon were broken up it'd create more jobs. Sure, they may pay less, but Amazon has centralized a lot of work to increase efficiency.
We shouldn't break them up just because they shredded some papers. There are many more reasons than that.
I don't think forcing people to work in inhumane conditions while paying them close to nothing, so that they still need to use food stamps, counts as employing. It sounds more like exploiting the most vulnerable people, which have no other employment option, because big monopolies like Amazon killed all the competition
It's a myth that corporations are job creators. Their very premise is that they can do the same job for less because they have fewer labor costs.
