(62,536 posts)It is time we start to accept this. The reason people do these jobs (Wal-Mart has similar demands on their delivery side) is because jobs are increasingly harder to find. The idea that we must figure out ways to limit the efficient systems that these corporations are setting up, in order to worship at the feet of wage work, is totally wrong.
We should be embracing it and looking at ways to fill the gap when 80-90% of the population isn't doing wage work.
Donald Trump is wrong about Amazon, because if it wasn't Amazon, it'd be another company. What happens when Super Cyber Megacorp starts manufacturing stuff here in the USA again, with a total robot labor force? We're going to look at Amazon's practices and say "well, at least they hired people."
