An incredibly arrogant response to what could potentially be an enormous opportunity for tens of thousands of families. What's wrong with a warehouse job if it gets somebody out of unemployment?

I visit their warehouse once. It is not a good job, to be put directly, everyone looks like they would jump out immediately if given a choice, which should be no surprise, since the warehouse is designed in a way to maximize automation, the stuff left for human to do is still pretty robotic.

My statement is easy to understand, a majority of claimed 100,000 jobs might be that desirable, even though they are jobs indeed. As other comments put, those jobs help little in the person future career, and is not something you can do for a long time either.

yes, praise lord bezos and the rest of the monied elites for the scraps of sustenance which they deign to toss at the hoi polloi.
The same argument can be made defending the practice of sweatshops.
