I'd rather see actual numbers about the flow of Amazon employees who get promoted in stead of a website with their good intentions.

Apart from that: do not think that I care about the party you're on and which political person you're against. I live thousands of miles away from your country. I only care about the idea. And the idea of getting payed $7.25 in the US seems like a preposterous way of life.

But I don't have the illusion I'm able to change your mind overhere, so I'll stop wasting my time with it. I believe in the free market, but without certain rules (like a reasonable minimum income) people and organisations are able to take advantage in a way that gets out of balance which the free market won't ever get the chance to ever fix.




I don’t think we’ll come to an agreement either; my country was settled by people who decided that enduring short term hardship for the sake of a better future was a worthwhile risk, and your country was left with those who decided to stay home and play it safe. It’s inevitable that such a stark difference in basic attitudes and motivations would lead to vast cultural and political differences.


Very well put, Sir. :) Cheers
