  1. Most that do work full time can afford to put food on the table.

  2. cherokee, the poverty rate is not that high.

  3. Considering how Bernie lies about Amazon and his opponents what is the difference at that point?
    4
  4. ToxicAudri, what I said is true. Amazon reached out to Bernie to talk to him and Bernie refused. Amazon countered what Bernie said. This plan by Bernie would just lead to major job loss for the poor.

  5. They will just fire employees on government assistance. Now people who are poor will need to rely on the government even more.

  6. Miguel, I saw that video. That 40% are for people who faced some "struggle" at least once in the past year. That is a very low bar to set. I was a part of that 40% because I had to put a car repair on credit, but I was able to pay it off later. You are setting a low bar there, that is the issue. That is why people like Bernie won't become president. People are not struggling, the vast majority are fine.

  7. StormCrown, Amazon has to cater to shareholders. If it weren't for the shareholders Amazon would be small. A lot of the profits go to the shareholders

  8. The host of this channel is a good speaker, but he is not intelligent on economic issues. Or he is being deceptive on purpose to gain views.

  9. Bernie is an economic illiterate. This bill, if passed, will just lead to companies refusing to hire people who take SNAP. That means the poor will be out of a job making them even more dependent on government.
    2
  10. Miguel, two is still low. You have a low standard here. That is the issue. That is why people like Bernie don't win on the large stage. The vast majority are not struggling. You also have to consider how many struggled and then quickly got back on track. This is why I come to Kyle's videos, he is a fool and his fans don't think.
    2
  11. The Kid Named Cudi, these individuals don't understand economics. They only have talking points. Notice how they are attacking Bezos now that he is the big dog on the block where in the past they did not say a word about him? These people are idiots. They are easily fooled by a socialist with three homes who made millions selling his book in both Walmart and Amazon.
    2
  12. Except I haven't been debunked. That is why you are just telling me to leave because you are scared of me. If I have been debunked you would attack me knowing I will say something stupid and look like a big fool.

  13. Jose Mendoza, I worked in a fulfillment center, people were fine. Most liked it. Reality is that businesses can't afford higher wages, period. How about Bernie goes to a few fulfillment centers and actually talk to the people there. He won't even though he claims to represent them.
    2
  14. ad altiora tendo, they are annoyed because they can't counter what I say. When I post a study from the New England Journal of Medicine like I did yesterday people claim I only have talking points. Amazon reached out to Bernie and broke down a lot of what he said. For example, a lot who are on food stamps are part time or temp workers who have low income due to not working full time. That is not Amazon's fault. Another is that Bernie never visited a fulfillment center but he has a strong opinion about the. Another is that Bezos earns $80,000 a year. Wealth does not equal income. Bezos has a lot of wealth due to the shares of his company which is not money. Bernie continues to misrepresent his opponents which is dangerous.

  15. I worked at a fulfillment center. I worked in crisplant. My job was to do a "six sided check" of the item, put it in the box, put dunnage in it, tape it with a water tape, put a spoo on it and sent it on to shipping. They allowed people to go to the bathroom. The horror stories you hear are from a very minor set of people. If Amazon is so bad to work at why do people keep going there? They have metal detectors because people stole from there. It is to prevent people from stealing as many items can fit in pockets. And no one missed lunch. Lunch breaks are not mandatory in many states, including mine. You really need to learn about labor laws if you want to have a discussion here.
    2
  16. Ben H, someone just said lunch breaks are required by law. That is not true. In some states it is, but not in every state. The fact that someone cannot get a basic fact correct shows that I am not "losing". I bet you won't call them out.
    2
  17. ToxicAudri, someone just said that lunch breaks were mandatory by law when in they aren't in many states. You talk about fact checking when you are not fact checking others. You are bias like most here. Why don't you criticize others when they are wrong?
    2
  18. KidLoose, watch the video entitled "Amazon Speaks Out Against Bernie Sanders' Accusations | Fortune" That is a good start.
    2
  19. magnummax78, a lot of Amazon workers who are on food stamps are part time and temporary. That inflates the number. The full time ones are most likely not on food stamps. Bernie leaves a lot of information out.
    2
  20. CorbCorbin, so you are going to trust the videos of a few people with an agenda? I have been in a fulfillment center, the work there was not bad. People are just lazy. People need to work construction or lay concrete in the 100 degree heat before they bitch.
    2
  21. Miguel, stock is not actual income.
    2
  22. sharon, he lied about the number of workers on food stamps. That number is inflated with part time and temp workers who earn less overall due to the fact they don't work full time. Why is another issue in itself, but that is not Amazon's fault. Bernie, if not lying, is being very deceptive.
    2
  23. Futa Nari, I can see you are scared of me as well.
    2
  24. KidLoose, so Bernie is not bias and is 100% honest?
    2
  25. KidLoose, I never said Amazon counts stock as a part of employee's wages. They offer employees a stock option as a tax free way to pay for it. They can trade it in for money, but until then stocks are not actual income. They are shares of a company.

  26. I suggest you stop watching. Kyle is as moronic as it gets when it comes to these issues, especially economic ones.

  27. Bernie and his fans only have oversimplifications. They have no actual arguments on the issues. This is why Trump became president. You have ultra leftists like Bernie saying the things he does and when people push him on the issue he just says talking points. Or he tries to berate his opponent. They have no desire to have an actual discussion on the issues.
    1
  28. ChewbaccaOnDrugs1130, the workers on government assistance in Amazon are part time and temps. They will just ask current workers to work OT or make people wait longer for their goods. Or they will pass the cost onto the consumer. Say good bye to the free shipping.
    1
  29. Amazon reached out to Bernie and countered Bernie's point with a legit argument. Bernie did not respond. Bernie has never been in a fulfillment center but he rips on the and Amazon. Bernie is acting like a fool here which is why people consider him to be a joke.

  30. Spencer, he is not popular.

  31. Spencer, he is not popular. If he was than the candidates he endorses would be winning.

  32. Mohamad107, I worked at a fulfillment center. They allow for bathroom breaks. If you can't meet quota then you are not fit for the job, that's called standards. Every job has them. Just like in my line of work it you can't pass qualification exams you can't get a PhD. Working there is not hard. Being dehydrated is people not drinking enough water throughout the day, that is not Amazon's fault. Fact is Bernie does not understand what really goes on, he only listens to a handful of people who bitch where the majority are fine with the situation. Also, to work there you just need a GED at best. You are taking the opinion of people who could not even finish high school.
    1
  33. Miguel, the vast majority are not struggling which is why we don't see major changes.

  34. Yusuke, around 70% of lottery winners go bankrupt. A lot of people live outside their means. That is lack of financial responsibility. How many, when they get a raise, end up buying something they don't need like another car or another TV?
    1
  35. tutompop, the reality is that 40% includes people who had one struggle in the past year. That is a very low bar to set. That is the low standard ultra leftists have to set these days. Learn the difference between wealth and income.
    1
  36. KidLoose, the top 10% earned 40% of the income.
    1
  37. KidLoose, in The World Bank look up "Income Share held by highest 10%". My bad, it is only around 30%.
    1
  38. The term "living wage" is 100% subjective. Also, businesses don't pay more because they can't afford it. Kyle is an idiot.
    1
  39. StormCrown, Amazon has to cater to shareholders. That means a lot of the profits go to shareholders. If it weren't for the shareholders the size of Amazon would be small.

  40. Billsama, I do have experience. I do have 5 published papers. Sorry that I work hard and actually strive to have knowledge on issues I talk about. That is why I have more than talking points and that is why I accept every challenge and not just tell people to leave like you do.

  41. KidLoose, I don't want to reveal my name. I do have a reputation to keep.
    1
  42. KidLoose, I am in a career where people can use what I say against me. I can be attacked and have my reputation ruined for petty things. People around me know I am a moderate that lean right. That is no secret. I don't have social media because I like to keep to myself for the most part and not take huge risks. You don't have to believe me on anything, but if you are going to call me stupid and bias than than you have to justify it.

  43. KidLoose, I am not saying that what Amazon said is 100% correct, but you should consider what they say. I lean towards Amazon's side based on the many deceptive things that Bernie has said. Also, I have worked at a fulfillment center for Amazon and the horror stories that are pushed I did not witness. To extend, Amazon said that a lot of workers on SNAP are part time or temps. That is true as a whole. Most who are on SNAP are underemployed or unemployed. Read the snopes article entitled "Do Amazon Employees Qualify for Food Stamps?" There are several ways to look at this issue. Bernie is only giving one small portion of it and blowing it up. Bernie has a strong history of this. He did it with the Koch brothers' funded study on Medicare for all. He does it on issues like the min. wage. He conflates wealth and income. Bezos earns only $80,000 a year. The fact is that Bernie has a long history of being bias and completely misrepresenting issues. I am a moderate. I listen to both sides of the issues and see strong arguments on both sides. Reality is that Bernie and his fans are radical leftists. You can see that with how Bernie misrepresents his opponents and how he refuses to try to understand their position.

  44. Michael, Bernie is selective in who he talks to. I know many people who work in Amazon fulfillment who are fine with it. How come Bernie never talks to them? Also, no, businesses can't afford higher wages. They have to worry about shareholders. If it weren't for shareholders a company like Walmart would be no bigger than Raleys or Hy Vee, to retail companies who pay similar wages.
    1
  45. David, that town hall is a hostile environment. It was Bernie and his fans against them. No CEO would ever waste their time there. The better approach is to sit down with Bernie in a civil environment and have a discussion with him. Bernie refuses to do that. Bernie never steps out of his territory.
    1
  46. mezzaninex, a lot of them are temp or part time workers. Census stats shows that only around 2% of full time workers are on SNAP. But don't let facts get in the way of your firmly held religious like belief that corporations are bad. Also, if Walmart were the size of Raleys or Hy Vee that means hundreds of thousands of people will be unemployed.
    1
  47. KidLoose, I have facts if you want them. But you believe Bernie's anecdotes. Nice double standard. According to census data only around 2% of full time workers are on SNAP. If you want to go by experience my experience is that a lot of part time workers don't want to work full time. We are talking about jobs that you only need a GED to work at, and sometimes not even that. We are talking about people who could not finish high school. Corporations don't have to give them a job. It is not the corporations' fault that the workers refuse to better themselves. They could just choose not to hire them. Every political compass has him as radical left.

  48. KidLoose, the citation is "Sorry, Bernie, Few Full-Time Workers Live in Poverty" also "Issue Brief: Most Working-Age SNAP Participants Work, But Often in Unstable Jobs" If you can't even finish high school you did not work hard. I don't subsidize anyone's profits.
    1
  49. KidLoose, those are citations. Those are titles of articles. That one about SNAP participants working unstable jobs is a title of an article. Posting links don't always work so I post the title of the articles. Type them in google and it comes up as the first link. So why you say "citation needed", that is literally the citation. If you earn the min. wage there is a great chance you are not poor. Read the paper entitled "Minimum Wages and Poverty: Will a $9.50 Federal Minimum Wage Really Help the Working Poor?" Minimum wage workers don't work hard.
