Unfortunately we (and more importantly the workers) are facing an entity which does not perceive compassion or dignity - similar to how we don’t see ultraviolet light.
What can be measured - is measured - is profit and efficiency. There’s no equivalent to Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness Index.
The price of infinitely growing profits is the constant increase of agony for the workers and the enshittification of the service and product - because the profit needs to come from somewhere.
Someone said that every Amazon order starts an invisible Rube Goldberg machine of human suffering which delivers a thing to our doors.
Yes, what if we made that machine visible? What if we had a choice to alleviate some of the suffering, some of the time?
Would the explicit admission of the fact that we participate in sadistic treatment of human beings and the choice to diminish some strangers’ agony… help?
Don’t know but would be one hell of a social experiment.
