> people claim that the altruistic thing to do is to concentrate wealth into the hands of fewer people.

I am actually astounded that I just read those words in regards to minimum-wage employees. Considering the context - Jeff Bezos' worth and Amazon's margins - it is absolutely boggling. Is this a sarcastic comment?

If not, I have a genuine press. Can Amazon not do both increasing their mailroom labour and increasing pay/benefits at the same time?

I am absolutely impressed either way.

I’m astounded that you literally did no research in this matter before commenting. Amazon has had a minimum wage of $15 for a couple years now. They’re paying an additional $2 for everyone now to account for the coronavirus, though it sounds temporary.

Yes. It does not refute my point on hipocracy.
