(42,641 posts)even on a democratic site the number of uninterested, disinterested commenters is sad. To paraphrase some of them: "as long as I can buy my stuff on Amazon I do not care if it is packed by slaves". Not quite, but close.
Think about that people, the world imagined by Amazon, Delivr, Uber, Wal-Mart, Mickey D, etc will be composed of 90% serfs, working for minimum wage and probably living in dormitories at the plantation/factory. 5% will be the police to keep the workers in line, and the overseers in the plant. 4% will be skilled labor to keep the machinery running and 1% will be the Masters, or owners if you will.
But I will not worry because I have outrage overload, or I do not want to believe these stories because they make me uncomfortable. If this is you, congratulations on helping the 1% win by your inaction.
Thanks for the post ND-Dem
