More Ohio Amazon workers relying on food aid

>Amazon has become one of Ohio’s largest employers, with more than 6,000 workers and thousands more to be added soon at three more big warehouses. It has also become one of the largest employers of workers who need food assistance to get by.

>As of last August, 1,430 Amazon employees or family members were getting assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), according to the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services. That ranked the company 19th among all Ohio employers. Just months before, it wasn’t even in the top 50.

>Amazon also receives millions of dollars in state and local subsidies at its warehouses. A recent article in Bloomberg Businessweek detailed how emergency responders in Licking County answer calls at an Amazon warehouse there at least once a day without any financial support from the company. “While most big companies extract tax breaks from states and municipalities where they’re looking to expand,” it said, “in Ohio Amazon has become something of a poster child for incentives that make it tough for public services to accommodate the added strain its facilities bring.”

At what point did you realize capitalism was a mistake?

next time try talking about the issue without being an autist
>memeflags not even once

The ambulances are there all the time because they are literally working people to death so some millenial asswipe gets his order on time.

...

They don't "need" the assistance. It's just free shit that niggers of all colors have no shame in collecting.

>Capitalism

nothing new

Crony capitalism is still capitalism

you really think jeff bezos is tonblame for this? there arw no people involved with this between bezos and the people who could have exacerbated this problem?

and are american middle class and laborers completely incapable of questioning their economic existence without resorting to asking the government or the msm to solve their problems? what kind of person ends us doing factory and warehouse work for a living holy shit

yeah, alinsky/marxists subverted (((capitalism)))

6,000 jobs, let them have their subsidies.

Lmao, stfu. u don't know what communism is.

You don't get it, regulations are BAD goy, the wealth will trickle down, the free market fixes everything, corporations are benevolent and you should be THANKFUL goy!

...

i need a job and there is a amazon warehouse not too far from me, should I try to get hired? just need some income

see

Please define your special brand of Communism

Yeah i live in ohio, all i hear is how bad it is to work there. They advertise misleading payscales and have a terrible working enviroment. I really need to stop buyimg from those kikes.

Did someone put a gun to their head and force them to work there?

Well today is an atlanta turd sandwich special day on Pol

Why do you shill here? If you talk some rightwinger into becoming a socialist, he won’t become a Berniefag, he will go NatSoc

Not every job is worth 15/hr. Doesn't amazon pay well anyway?

They only hire contractually and only one or two employees gets full time employment with benefits

Everyone works because they want to support the greater good. No one ever goes hungry. Medicine is made by people who want to make medicine for the greater good. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islmaophobia, Pedophobia et al. no longer exist and are taken care of during the transition stage. Money doesn't exist because we make enough of everything for every one. Eternal leisure if you so choose....

haha why do communists make me want to hate poor people even more than I already do... Their pathetic.

The only medicine a communist will ever receive is a bullet because their mental state is beyond repair

What is my motivation to do anything under that regime? Why should I want to be excellent at producing if you're going to take all of it as soon as I create it?

Also,
>are taken care of during the transition stage

Is this how you gloss over the brutal murder of tens of millions of people who won't stand for your bullshit?

>tens of millions

Only a few million, and then people will get the idea to shut the fuck up and stop being bigoted. I'm fine with killing a few fascist/bigots/capitalists.

And your motivation is for the good of society. That's what SHOULD motivate you: to help your fellow man. But you're probably a greedy capitalist so you won't make it to that stage.

They pay $12/hour and make them work all day without sitting for Black Friday™

>Says altruism should be major motivating force
>Willing to mass murder everyone who disagrees with you

I know you're LARPing, but Commies actually think like this, and makes me sick. They are actually willing to let millions be killed just so daddy government will gibs them other peoples' money so they don't actually have to be useful.

>Everyone works because they want to support the greater good.

What a fucking meme, I don't want because I want to I do it but because I have to eat. I hate work and I hate you even more for trying to force the government to make me work. If I could I'd be a fat lazy nigger shitposting all day.

>They pay $12/hour and make them work all day without sitting for Black Friday™

I worked at amazon. I got paid $13.50 and during peak (Black Friday to Christmas) you get 2 20min breaks, 30min breaks and holiday pay. You also get Personal time which you can use while working, which you can triple that with your holiday pay, your regular pay then your PTO time.

If you are too tired you can get sent to AM care where you can rest for 30mins-40mins if needed. Stop spreading lies to prop up your shitty ideology.

I live in Central Ohio and know a number of people who work at the Amazon Fulfillment Center here. They say it's a good gig. They say the hours are long over the holidays, but the pay is good and they aren't "worked to death" like the people in London are said to be. As for food stamps and ADC, we provide them for a lot of working Ohioans. Even prior to Obamacare, they could also get Caresource (needs based medicaid) if they were earning around the poverty level for their family size. No one cares or thinks less of them because they are working, and we're happy to have companies like Walmart, Costco, the fast food restaurants, the grocery stores, the landscapers, etc... who are providing the jobs. Providing these basic staples to help low income wage earners is a WORLD apart from Obamacare where I pay artificially higher premiums so a couple earning $50k can have insurance better than mine.

Thanks for this user, good to have someone who actually knows his/her shit posting

You're lazy and useless, then. Tell me: what good are you to society right now, and why shouldn't we discard you?

It's NOT mass murder. You can choose not to be bigoted. You can choose not to be capitalistic. You can choose not to fascistic before we even come for you. It's your own fault if you get caught up.

Don't expect Sup Forumstards to be educated on any issue in a debate comrade.

>B-but its not REAL capitalism
Wow sounds similar to something you attack us for

Capitalism requires constant growth and the acquisition of more markets, more pools of labor, more natural resources, etc. Once capitalism matures in its home country, it goes abroad in search of new markets, pools of labor, and natural resources - see WW1, the war in Iraq, the war on Libya and Syria, the escalation of tensions with North Korea, etc. Capitalism isn't all good.BTW name a single capitalist country on earth which is not involved in imperialism.

What is this "we" asshole? This user isn't saying he doesn't work, he's saying he's not going to work his ass off so he can pay 50% of his income into taxes just to pay for you and your hippie friends to sit around smoking weed complaining about capitalist democracies all the time. If he wants to fuck off and has a plan for how to do it in a way that takes care of himself and his family, then good for him. When it cmes to deciding who to keep around, I'd be passing by his camper parked in the walmart lot and contuing on down the road to the local anti-fa office so I can drag yiur sorry ass out to "discard"

Or they can choose to give you and your jackbooted buddies a few more holes in your head instead of going along peacefully Mr. Stalin. What is truly funny is the fact that I've seen no violence from conservatives yet but for one guy who decided to show some antifas why his car is called a charger. Liberals literally shit themselves over one kid hitting one girl with his car while conservatives have remained pretty cool while punk snowflakes dressed up in black and thought they were bad. When conservatives hit the limit and finally say "ok, I guess we're really going to do this", it's not going to be much of a fight before those snowflakes run back and hide un their parent's basement for a few more decades.

>"it's a crappy job but someone has to do it"
>Did someone put a gun to their head and force them to work there?

Which is one is it, capitalist puppet?
