Do they sleep well at night? Why not...

Do they feel good about themselves?...They don't have to do that...I bet most people don't even feel "good" about their corporate jobs.

Basically, Amazon had two options; Tell the UAE to pound sand and risk being kicked out of the country or cave in to their demands. Should we really expect another response from a soul-less, union-busting corporate overlord company like Amazon?

Yes, I expect Amazon to stand up against their demands and tell them to go pound sand.

Im not naive; I know they won’t. But I can still be disgusted that they won’t.

We peacefully disagree then. I don't expect a company that treats their warehouse workers like s*t to all of a sudden find a moral cause and stand on it, especially when that company has continually shown that it cares about money above all.
I don't think you actually disagree, I think you're both just using different (valid) definitions of expect. “to consider probable or certain” (you) vs “to consider bound in duty or obligated” (sweetheart)

We disagree... about what I expect?

If we demand a better response hard enough we can pressure them into being better. So... yes?
