  As unfortunate as it is, consumers won’t take on an individual cost to avoid this behavior, when it will have little effect if no once else does. The only real solution to this tragedy of the commons situation is government intervention to stop corporations from continuing this bullshit.

  Literally what regulation is for though it has become a dirty word ever since businesses have essentially started running the world in place of monarchs

    Feudalism and nobility have never really gone away, they just changed name.

  Because we’re all underpaid and both morals and suffering are relative.

  That fact is so damned motivating in every aspect of our lives EXCEPT as a common starting point for us to get along enough to actually do anything about it.

    Being physically separated from those experiencing the pain contributes as well, I believe.

    I’d like to think if Amazon offered maid service and folks could tell the housekeepers were being abused, it would greatly diminish the service’s popularity.

      Doubtful. People would just reframe whatever was necessary in order to not challenge their opinion of their own experience, because changing such a thing is seen so negatively by so many people.

      The “We’ll change things if we make it visable” approach has clearly failed.

  I try to order from other places but there are some things that are only available on amazon for affordable price.

  If it’s any consolation, I’ve stopped in a general sense. Sometimes we still do, but it’s rare these days.

  Amazon is super consistent though, this is how they treat people everywhere.
