[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like simple, old school economics. Maturing businesses (the warehouse / logistics segment of Amazon) strive to increase volume and reduce costs. Labor is one of the biggest costs in running a warehouse operation and Amazon is just doing what corporations have been doing for over 100 years - reduce labor costs, often through mechanization. Despite our wishes, corporations are not social welfare organizations that try to make the world a better place by, for instance, providing good paying jobs. Corporations exist to return shareholder value. Full stop. [/quote] LOL. Remember when the conservatives called them “job creators” and made them all sound like humanitarians???[/quote]
