Jeff Bezos thinks people are
β€˜vilifying the rich.’ Bro, you're
one of the richest people
on earth and 1/3 of your
warehouse workers rely on
government assistance for
basic needs like food and rent.

End corporate socialism now!

Poverty benefits paid to employed people should be recovered from the employer (with a mark-up to act as a deterrent). In such a way that the individuals involved can't be identified, of course - the employer just gets billed a total amount each year. If they challenge it the court can look at the details but not pass them to the employer (and the employer has to pay pending challenge).

@joewo The 1/3 figure comes from a report by University of Illinois Chicago in 2024.

Highlights:
* 53% of workers experienced one or more forms of food insecurity in the previous three months.
* 48% of workers experienced one or more forms of housing insecurity in the previous three months.
* More than half (56%) have not been able to pay all their bills without a remaining balance in the previous three months.
* One-third of workers (33%) have used one or more publicly funded assistance programs in the previous months, including 23% who have used the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
* Taking time off due to the health impacts of working at Amazon is linked with greater economic insecurity. For example, 60% of those taking unpaid time off due to pain or exhaustion from working at Amazon report one or more forms of food insecurity, versus 36% of those who have not taken time off.
