It only serves to make the coproration more money.
Very little to zero thought is given to the floor staff when deciding what to invest in in capital. The most important part of the decision is will it make me, the investor/shareholder more money.

The floor generally does not care about throughput. Although I do feel justified in my wage if our line goes well (for example). Just can I live a good life with the recompense Bozos allows for this job.
That last part does not even enter bozos' mind I am sure.
Bottom line calcs don't include can our workers live on this.

Lolocaust.

Most of the affordability hokum outside super expensive cities like NYC is based on a single person being able to afford a 2 bedroom place @ minimum wage.

Let's just do away with this whole amazon thing, it's too exploitative I tell you. Duik can figure it out and I have faith in his plan.

Why is my doordash late???

Btw when you guys get a chance I still need the current max square footage your house is allowed to be before you're officially rich and bad. Also am I allowed to use endangered woods if the trees are already cut?

I really want a private elephant menagerie, but I'm willing to forgo it to be a good person.

Clueless and stupid.
Please learn to read.
Then learn comprehension.
Then we can talk.

I have zero problem with megacorpA installing whatever new machine it needs to compete (to their performance specifications) in the marketplace. Go for it. Really is zero I can do about it anywho. Why would I waste my time?

What I do have issue with is dumbcunts saying that bozos installs the machine for OUR OWN GOOD. Be it the consumer or the floor worker.
He does not do that. Never has. Never will.
He and his ilk are beholden to his shareholders/investors tied in a dance off that eventually nobody can win.

So order your amazon thingamabobzit or your alibaba whatsamajiger and expext same day express travellator driven, drone powered delivery all you wish. But please for the love of Dog dont think your magnanimous overlords are doing it for your benefit.
It belittles you and makes you sound simpy.

Because people motivated by altruism take different actions than people motivated profit?

When you believe your corporate overlords are doing things for your benefit, you're actually surprised when they fleece you.

Why should I give a damn about his intent if his actions benefit me anyway?
