What's crazy is I hear unionization is usually more expensive to fight against, but these CEO's are essentially morally opposed to it. Every time I hear stories of these people their lives would have been so much easier and their businesses more profitable but they just cannot stand people unionizing.
That’s weirdest part, at this point the hoops Amazon has jumped through vs how profitable of a company they are - it must be cheaper for them to just let people unionise and pay them more + give better conditions?
Do you want to pay people more because they're better at their job or do you want to pay people more because they've been warming a chair longer than anyone else?
I really don't care to play "who deserves a minimum quality of life".
Reality doesn't care whether you care to play or not.
There's a limited amount of resources, you can't hire everyone on Earth, you can't give everyone an unlimited salary. Everything past that you're making decisions as to who gets what.
And by the way, if you make enough poor decisions eventually everyone loses their jobs.
Life's not a video game or a book.
