  3. That is what they are doing, really. They are just giving Amazon chance to give them a better offer before they hand their notice in permanently!

  5. Well, once everyone does that Amazon will be losing money daily. They'll put up wages to bring people back and halt the loss of earnings. The end state is people working for Amazon on better wages. This way just short circuits some of the hassle!

  6.  @nicholasgerrish6022  as a society, we are going to have to answer that question - if machines replace everyone's jobs, where are the customers who buy the things the robots are making and delivering? ...and while we figure that out, pay the people who are working a proper wage!

  7. We do have to take money out of the system, but there's no room left to tighten wages. It will have to come from somewhere else!

  8. What happens if workers can't afford somewhere to live, or can't afford food?

  9.  @georgewright9914  I agree it will be minimum, but minimum shouldn't be poverty If a company can't cover the basics of life with the wages it offers, it's not a viable business
