@yaghsizian@N0RINCO@WhiteHouseGov47@ston43658@micsolana What law? What are they avoiding? You keep saying “sub-contractors”. There are no sub contractors. There are just the contractors (DSPs). You know the drivers themselves are not contractors, right? They are W2 employees of the DSPs
@SutterlinDan@JustSad42@micsolana Ironically, the culprits for outcompeting them will be less developed nations with lower wages if places like China continue to get wealthier
That has been the cycle for most developed countries so far. You start poor - develop light manufacturing - get wealthier & more advanced
@SutterlinDan@JustSad42@micsolana Light manufacturing in places like China would absolutely still exist without Amazon and Temu. These are basic products that already have a market and the foreign manufacturers are currently the most competitive at it. They will only go away when someone outcompetes them
@SutterlinDan@JustSad42@micsolana Sweatshop employees? Like manufacturing in other countries? That is definitely not the topic in the quoted tweet and those are not people "effectively employed" by Amazon.
@captive_dreamer I think this is just poorly worded on his part. If you watch the full video he makes the security risks statement again in French and it seems like he’s trying to say that China is a greater risk to the U.S. than it is to Canada.
@OrdinariateUSA They will immediately start screaming that poor people are being discriminated against. I don’t think it would go as well as you think.
@yaghsizian@N0RINCO@WhiteHouseGov47@ston43658@micsolana Being an Amazon DSP driver is a good gig that typically pays over $20/hour. Being a unionized UPS driver is a better gig, but that is much more difficult to get. Amazon created a bunch of jobs that would not have otherwise existed.
@actsmaniac@lymanstoneky This wouldn’t really bother me except I know Warren would throw a fit about the discrimination against everyone with a sub 800 score
They want to eat cake and have it too. We are governed by children

@Jason I watched a video of Josh Brown with Galloway talking about investing two weeks ago. I had no idea who Galloway was, but I thought to myself “something is wrong with that Galloway guy”
And now I’m seeing all this stuff and I’m thinking pretty highly of my gut instincts
@rossburner_@ValueStockGeek Wow. $36/hr revenue is great. Way better than I would have guessed from Amazon flex
How many miles do you typically drive in an hour?
@TheStalwart I think you’re trolling, but in case you’re not, one of the authors of this paper would be a great guest to have on the podcast
“Estimating Tax Burdens by Wealth Groups” Akcan Balkir, Emmanuel Saez, Danny Yagan, and Gabriel Zucman of UC Berkeley
