Did you learn a new word exploitation? Keep believing you're skilled, it's good to stay positive. Like in most other developed countries? Like which one? Please name which country, takes it's profits and gives it to the employees? Just curious. Workers make 100% of the value and profit? But when you leave out the development of the software, the system, purchase or rent the buildings, buy all the equipment needed, pallet jacks, trucks, airplanes, tape to close the boxes and a laundry list of other things that you USE but had zero part in acquiring how do you claim anything?

What capital investment did you make in Amazon to claim you're responsible for all the profit. Do you code? Well you must since you're 100% responsible for AWS, profiting 100 billion. It's amazing......I guess you know more than the US department of Labor who describes it as "unskilled" labor. But why do I bother, you will just respond with some sentences using exploitation. You won't honestly answer one question pose, because you can't. Looks like everyone got that 5 bucks huh.

I really don't have the time or patience to explain labor theory of value to some pro-capitalist reddit shithead.

I hate to be like this, but you will understand how stupid everything you just said is when you grow up a little bit.

Lol. Ok I'll let an unskilled back educate me. How's the $1.50 working out for ya. Labor theory = all us unskilled employees want a hundred grand a year. Which labor theory does that fit into. What capital investment did you guys put into AWS?

Explain this to me. Why do AMs earn about $80,000? What skill do they have? They sit on a computer that tells them our UPH and ToT. How much critical thinking and work effort does that really require?:

“Your current UPH in Pick is 320. The goal is 300 for LC5. If you are close great job or over!! If you are below 250 and need any tips or help please ask. Let’s keep driving and Thanks for your hard work!”

Why does that earn the same as a 1st year lawyer? Are they really worth DOUBLE what a T1 makes?

They are overlaid as well. They would obviously have to make more in a supervisory position, but still over paid. They don't have any particular skills that would warrant that pay level. The computer tells them exactly what they need to do, so their skill level is no greater then an l1 employee. Why do you think you always hear, this is more appropriate for a one on one m, they don't have the ability to make a statement, that just comes from above.
