FLUFFYGERM posted... but i thought we need high corporate taxes and severe regulations in order to benefit workers gee it's almost as if minimum wage laws can be entirely replaces by the free market! Amazon is asking for minimum wage to be raised though. <_< Though really that would just be because then they can cause their competitors to pay higher wages as well so there's less impact from this decision and get good press. Eh, I expect that's mostly grandstanding. They want the best workers, they know they work their people harder than their peers do. If min wage went to 15, they'd have to raise theirs higher or lose retention. --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. <cite>Darkman124 posted [p:909816494] in Amazon rai...
