There is a difference.....between the Waltons, who have spent much of their life lobbying the State and Fed. Government for tax breaks for themselves personally (they made up the whole "death tax" thing because it mostly applied to billionaires).....
Good for Amazon. This is the positive side of Single Jewish Women (SJW)......basically enlightened, but not perfect, businesses from the Left Coast...
Another interesting factoid. Bezos makes breakfast (cooks) for his family. He doesn't take his first meeting until 10am and won't take any important decisions in the late afternoon. He says the best thinking is earlier in the day....
A American business that already employs 350,000 - many at high wages (skilled)...and has a "eco-system" of authors and other sellers numbering in the 100's of thousands. See....American is already great, but we need those SJWs to ask folks to do the right thing.
BTW, an auto plant these days generally employs 800-3,000.

Should? How is that anybody but the shareholders’ business is beyond me.
Some people always have the tendency to get into other people’s business and enslave them.
Walmart already pays 11 bucks, dunno if they will go to 15. Note tons of other stores are still at ~$9.50.
I know 4 people who worked in Amazon DCs. One had to wear a GPS that tracked him. (Not sure of the others) All described it as hellish. Another was in the Allentown area DCs when they were parking ambulances to take away heat stroke victims rather than shutting them. (Ca 2011)
I know a dozen Walmart workers. None describe it as fun. None describe it as hellish either.
Amazon can pay its help whatever it wants. What it shouldnt do is advocate that everyone else have to pay the same $15.00 per hr. Such a rate eliminates jobs for the low skilled and makes it harder/eliminates start-ups.
The real min. wage is zero.
WalMart employs 2.1 million people.
Their net income was $9.8B in 2018. So if each of those 2.1 million people got a pay raise of $4,666 per year the company would make no money and would go broke, putting every one of those 2.1 million people out of work.
Facts! Sometimes they bite.
I applaud Amazon, but their warehouses are not happy places, the employees are micro managed to the nth degree. I feel like this was partly done to retain employees, it’s harder to walk away from $15 an hour.
They have a corporate structure that destroys their businesses and funnels money away from the workers and to the managers (not the people who operate the company).
Rather than supporting worker cooperatives and worker freedoms you 'liberals' praise Bezos as a great guy (same guy who works with Pentagon to kill children).
You are not leftist, you are far right goons slightly to the left of republicans.

Oh yes, Amazon is a terrible place to work, at least in the distribution centers, the 6 warehouses they have around here are always hiring, their employee turnover is crazy high, they cannot keep employees at all. Many quit their first day, walk off the job or go to lunch and never come back.
