Right. Only then will amazon reduce the cost of oil, food, and housing.

I think it has more to do with bathrooms and not treating employees like disposable robots

Or it will lead to more robots (automation). I would love to hear people’s opinions on this!

If it could lead to more robots they would have done it by now. They aren't hiring these people out of the kindness of their heart.

Depends on the facility too. It costs a LOT to replace a warehouse, and if you're in the traditional sort network they can't automate a lot of the stations without rebuilding the whole warehouse.

Using automation as a defense against better working conditions for people is a misunderstanding of why we want automation.
Robots will always replace people if they can. Even if people are slaves. Slaves get sick, they have to eat, they have to sleep. Robots won't have any of that.
All the depressing wage does is make automation happen slower, but it's gonna happen anyway.
