&gt; The reason Amazon hires any worker, homeless or not, is to extract a profit from their work.<p>This arguments are getting ridiculous. Why is it always the employers exploiting the employees? Why not the other way round? The way I see it, if the people could generate more value self-employed, they would do it! The only reason they take jobs is because they can, gasp, <i>exploit</i> the employer by producing <i>more</i> value than they would otherwise, and getting <i>paid more</i>!<p>In a free society, exploitation goes both ways!
