Those horrible employers ... forcing productivity and prosperity on innocent victims since 1776.
Bain Capital, Lockheed Martin, Amazon, Google, and Goldman Sachs... "employers".
Propaganda runs deep with you.
Right - Amazon, Google, and Lockheed don’t employ anyone. I forgot. They’re run by droids and ghosts.
Fuckin’ Evil Employers

If we only get rid of big bad corporations the plebs will have abundance, Liberty and will finally be happy.

When you think about it, the American people are co-employers to low-wage Amazon and Walmart employees, since the American people subsidize the labor force of these companies.

Indeed, often brought up as a negative rather than a positive. Conversely, Amazon and Walmart provide low wage workers opportunities to earn some income so the American people don’t have to subsidize their whole existence alone.

But we don't get a choice. Amazon gets to "give them a job", but the American people are paying for it.

Same is true for the military. Every so often you get a story about X% of soldiers being on welfare. Why? Because they’re married with five kids. But the military is paying for one soldier, not for a soldier, a spouse, and five kids.
Likewise Amazon is paying for one warehouse worker at $13.50 per hour. If you take that job, by also have five kids, your ass is going to be on welfare. That’s not Amazon’s fault, they just want one warehouse worker.

Yeah the USA would be much much better off if we just put Bezos' theivin ass out of business.
AAFES can service the country, with federal employees running the shoe store.

Why is it unfair to ask whether the American people should have a say in who Amazon hires when we actually have to subsidize those jobs through welfare?

Maybe we should simply outlaw people on welfare from taking jobs that won’t get them off of welfare.
Seems cruel, but it would solve your issue.
