Never did I say they were creating amazing jobs. Most lower end jobs suck. But they do bring in tax (or end up reducing the amount of social security payments that need to be paid otherwise) -- both are net positives.

Their subcontractors bring in tax, not them. And Amazon are not creating the jobs that working class wants, since they give no future guarantees.

A job you don't want is better than no job at all.

A job you don't want but have no other choice, is a job that occupies the space of the other jobs, that potentially could be better. Amazon is an entity that is concerned with growth, but not with creating the society that works for an another century.
