It would be very easy if that one income was working a job that actually produced basic necessities or true life giving sustenance. Instead what we have is like 5% producing actual value while the other 95% are pushing paper, cutting hair, mopping floors, crunching numbers, etc. |

Amazon should definitely be broken up as a monopoly but our antitrust laws are 100 years old. Our monopoly laws only deal with someone cornering a single market...oil for example. It never was written to deal with a corp buying up only 25% of every industry and using that leverage to control society. Last Edited by Uncle Gintel on 09/21/2021 11:32 PM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79229108 Uh, no. That's called public risk for private profit. It's how walmart got away with underpaying and ripping off employees for so long. In their case, new hires got an orientation which included how to apply for social services.
