Where do they pay more than the competition for the same physicality of the job, and same injury risk, same pushing workers past what is safe? Show me a single business that has the same STATISTICALLY accurate (not your current 'seat of the pants' assessment) work (that means includes physicality of the job, you know, like resulting in workers peeing in soda bottles because they can't get a bathroom break without it impacting their job) for less wages. As someone who's been on the bottom labour run due to prison, NO ONE, NO ONE wants to go work at Amazon. We all took less pay for BETTER WORK QUALITY. No where did we take less pay for the same job.

I don't have stats, but the parent was arguing that even if you assume what I said is true, he still wouldn't use Amazon because somebody who makes more money should pay more, but their competitor doesn't have to because they're poor.
