Lots of us choose to avoid Amazon. But my main complaint against your comment was claiming people could easily find another job. You know that's not true, why pretend it is? That's like saying it's easy to move to another place if you don't like where you live. It's more complicated than just apply and get another job.

For as many people who choose to avoid Amazon, there’s that many more who binge shop because they lack self control and are trying to fill a void with consumerism. Moving and finding a job aren’t comparable. How is it not true that people can’t find another job? What person can’t learn a skill given the opportunity? Not saying everyone but I think too many people would rather accept victimhood in a mediocre job instead of embracing hard work.

The risk of taking a new job that may or may not work out, when you have one now that pays enough to pay your bills is too great for many people.
61% of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. I fully agree with your last point, however the fact is the majority of the country simply cannot afford the risk.

Companies are desperate to hire workers. They easily could find a new job.
