Why should Bezos pay them better if he can get the state to compensate the workers?

A new study found that 700 Amazon employees in Ohio are on food stamps: https://www.businessinsider.in/A-new-study-found-that-700-Am...

The right way to look at it is that workers already on state support are people who already have a bare minimum wage lower than which they won't get out of bed for. i.e Amazon would have had to pay LESS if the state support didn't exist.
