      Bozos would absolulety wet himself with the opportunity to own slaves for his warehouses. He can claim too big too fail and just tap into all that free labor in Trumps Alligator Auschwitz.

      On the plus side - if there ever was a plus side to anything Trump does - this might drive up wages for the remaining employees, and/or to attract fresh new recruits to fill up the missing roles.

        Unlikely. It will still be minimum wage. Amazon (I don’t think) wasn’t paying immigrants cash under the table at half-rate.

          I’m not so sure, see. And the reason is: if people who are traditionally willing to accept low wages don’t apply for jobs at Amazon fulfillment centers for fear of being kidnapped by the GestapoICE, then Bezos will have to start attracting people who aren’t quite content with minimum wage.

          Not to mention, if Bezos’ slave wage shops start being known as ICE hunting grounds, even the latter might want to give working there a pass altogether.

            All the rich have to do is keep raising rent, keep home prices high, and continue lobbying to take our rights away… so far, they have been wildly successful with zero evidence of it slowing.

            The price I’m paying now for a 2 bedroom apartment in the suburbs in a “pretty good” complex is $2200/m. It’s not fancy, just average.

            10 years ago, in the same area, I rented a three story, three bedroom, two car garage townhome for $1500.

            I am making about the same amount of money now than I was then. I’ll take that amount, because more isn’t possible to find right now.

            Minimum wage in my area is ~$16.50

            Unfortunately people willing to accept minimum wage jobs are frequently willing to accept any minimum wage jobs. They’re living on that next paycheck, they often don’t have the luxury of choice

    Uh oh, did Bezos forget to invite Trump to the wedding?

    Predicting he’ll be able to buy back the workers for slightly more than their original pay but he can work them even harder now!

      At the end of the day, it’s the Heritage Foundation. They’re the ones pulling the strings of all those retarded MAGA puppets.
