Thousands of Amazon workers receive food stamps
&gt; Amazon spokeswoman Melanie Etches said the figures were “misleading because they include people who only worked for Amazon for a short period of time and&#x2F;or who chose to work part-time,” she said in a statement. “We have hundreds of full-time roles available, however, some prefer part-time for the flexibility or other personal reasons.”<p>It&#x27;s possible that some of these part-time people only work so much because of the welfare gap. If they worked more, they wouldn&#x27;t get food stamps, but wouldn&#x27;t make enough to both offset the cost of food and the opportunity cost of the time they&#x27;ll spend working.<p>A UBI would fix this issue if implemented correctly.
