Millions of young people will “storm the Bastille” if we don’t fix income inequality, 2020 candidate says - If capitalism and its wealthiest winners do not “reclaim some sort of ethical core, chaos ensues.”

  1. What?? Temporary until they turn a profit? Are they not turning a profit? They are putting all the brick and mortar out of business...and we are subsidizing them to do this...and they aren't even making a profit!? Wtf is that? Sorry, that's just news to me and seemingly unbelievable. Unless I have it wrong.

  2. Everything I head about Amazon jobs is how shit they are, they've become marginally better in the last couple years (because it was bottom of the barrel before and it was ridiculous) but damn. There's a lot more to this stuff than anyone could reasonably know, spread across all these companies and etc. Just impossible. What I do know for sure is, Amazon is not a good force. And they aren't doing their fair part in all of this. Neither are Apple, or Google, or Disney, or whoever. I don't care if I'm "technically wrong" and they "technically" do such and such for taxes or whatever, until I am wrong in reality, how it actually is (not how it is told or perceived, need all the factors).
