That doesn't make a bit of sense to me. You're saying that BECAUSE Amazon has become so large and so successful, that they should suddenly start doing things that would have prevented them from becoming large and successful in the first place?
Besides... the logic you present still doesn't justify singling out Amazon for NOT doing these things that
most big, powerful companies (that also "could" do what you suggest) ultimately decide against doing as well.
It's OK for working people to sweat. It really is. Making people perspire is not, in of itself, a human rights violation. Some people do it voluntarily. For no pay.
