(27,787 posts)Not very liberal of you.
I grew up just slightly above poor, and my family was on welfare a few times, so I definitely understand what working poor means.
Is your argument that the people who will work in that warehouse will be paid too little, have little or no benefits, or that hey will be subject to dangerous working conditions.
Or, that they'll have to commute.
Usually, the opening of a new business is a positive thing. Apparently not this time.
And if this business isn't the right kind, what's your proposal?
The concern about a business like Amazon putting say smaller stores out of business reflects a serious problem ... what's your solution?
Make internet shopping illegal?
I see lots of complaining in this thread, not many suggestions for getting people back to work.
