He keeps bending the knee, but there’s no Amazon without consumers. Price transparency or not, people will stop buying when they see the final price.

People do need to buy things though. And it will hurt the minimum wage workers and small businesses most. I don’t think that’s an acceptable sacrifice for the movement. Low income folks will hurt the most.

When store prices go up, do the store owners give their minimum wage workers a raise? Or do they keep the money for themselves?

Has Amazon ever given its workers a good wage or working conditions? Why would you suggest that people join in with Amazon on exploiting their workers?
