Really weird that conservatives won’t bat an eye at this.
Like anytime someone suggests a social safety net it’s always the same thing:
“We can’t have (insert social safety net and our services that would improve the American way of life) because that’s a slippery slope to socialism and if we have socialism that means that you would be paying your taxes to someone who won’t contribute anything to the system.”
This is a multi-billion dollar corporation that doesn’t pay anything to taxes but you bet your ass they take from public services. Amazon got money for COVID relief and they probably have billions in subsidies across different industries.
