Amazon could pay and treat their employees better. That would be an investment that would make me consider using their service again.

Amazon already pays their Warehouse workers $15/hour or more. How much should they get paid?

$15 would be a realistic minimum wage in many places. And they can treat their workers better.

Costco is a good example of how to treat workers.

Define "livable" in the context of wages

Technically that'd be a cost, not an investment.
