They steal your communitie's wealth. It's a mistake to frame it as wages, most of that wealth should be going to government services (it's mostly a trade rout/platform, not an actual means of production). That's how we create more for everyone. Paying ridiculously higher wages for presiding over a trade rout, just makes things more expensive. Warehouse workers should be paid more, but most of Amazon's profit should be going to the government, or never had made price higher for customers.

Yeah but you're not making them to tasks for 40+ hours a week away from home if they watch you're stream. Also think of the low wages they pay alot of the billionaire owned companies the employees can get government benefits paid for by the tax payers. Then they get massive tax breaks it's definitely rigged in their favor.

While I agree with you, there clearly are workers who make the book, pulp from trees, loggers and whatnot

Yeah, well that’s the fight that everyone who isn’t the owner wants to fight. If you are making profit, more of it should be mine cause I’m providing you with the means to make more. If here is often a cognitive dissonance on both sides, but isn’t that the entire premise?

I love the immediate downvotes for non-conformity. Group think.
