If Amazon Supports Rep. Mace’s Federal Marijuana Legalization Bill, Should You Be Happy or Very Worried?

If Amazon is committed to correcting past social injustices and the unfair treatment toward lower social economic classes due to the War on Drugs, why not get your own house in order, now? Many have written about how Amazon is a new form of modern slavery.  Why not pay a livable wage, as opposed to the state’s minimum wage or as close to it as Amazon can legally pay? Why not give employees options other than the overnight shift, so they don’t have to choose between taking care of their kids and family and working at an Amazon shipping facility? Why not give enough bathroom breaks so the internet isn’t littered with Amazon “pee bottle” pictures?  Why fight tooth-and-nail against union organization for lower paid workers at every station in America?  You can’t go back in history to correct past injustices, but you can correct your current practices, so we don’t look back in 50 years and say we need to correct the high-pressure, low-pay environment Amazon created during the ecommerce boom.
