Released Today: THE ZEN MASTER’S DANCE by Jundo Cohen!
Amazon is proud of our ability to create great jobs with great benefits for all employees. Learn how much Amazon pays and about our skills training opportunities.
Amazon's minimum wage is double the minimum wage in the USA. That's pretty cool!
$15/hr is not a living wage but a great PR stunt for a company that made $21.33B in 2020, to divert attention from far less than 5 star working conditions. With that said, I can't afford not to shop many items from there or I'd need to go without. Our system is fundamentally broken and only serves that special 1%.

Let us agree that the economic system needs some work ... and go sit now.
After sitting, those who wish can go work for labor reform at Amazon and in the rest of this economy. Others who wish can, after sitting, go order something from Amazon, helping Jeff pay for his space flight.
But for now, let us leave Amazon at the door (pun intended) and Just Sit!

PS - In any case, please buy my book. It won't pay for a space flight, but for a new Zafu.

The company paid out over 90 billion dollars in wages. Just think how much it could have saved but paying minimum wages instead. Very generous in my opinion.
Top one percent means about 11 million dollars of net worth. Surely the system is not broken for people that have way less than that.
20 percent of millionaires inherit their wealth and 80 percent earn it. If you want a million bucks then work hard and smart.
