Luke Skywalker every word you just said is wrong.gif

Amazon's delivery service is part of Amazon. The reason Amazon employees have to piss in bottles is because they are owned by Amazon. The reason their tax returns list them as contractors is so Amazon can dodge the laws and the taxes that come with them.

And where did you get the impression that an outsourced job would be lesser? The exact reason I would want all companies to focus on only the one thing they're good at is to be forced, for lack of a better word, to pay what those jobs are worth. I would hope the person unblocking my toilet is self-employed so they can charge what they feel is a price equal to the effort of their job.

But on the other hand, I'm sure we'll all be treated well and paid well when there are only four companies to work for and they all collude with each other.
