We all know Amazon doesn't actually hire these warehouse workers, they use shell firms, aka 'staffing agencies.' Bloomberg is obviously perpetuating false positive talking points for Amazon here.

Personally, I don't think robotic picking arms are going to solve any problems, only introduce new ones.

Yeah, that was a fair wage back in 2005. It's a starvation wage in most metros today. But, we need to learn as a society to not just walk off when we hear this. Always, always accept the job. This will keep them from actually fulfilling the job since they're planning on you working there.
