It's a feature, not a bug. Keep people impoverished so they're willing to accept whatever horrifying, exploitative conditions necessary to keep a job.
Capitalism is the problem.
I was going to say - it's working as designed.
If they did that wouldn't some other company just take over because their offer is more convenient for the end user? It only works by changing the rules of the game as far as I can tell, in modesty.
These are good points and possibly true, but we need to be careful. I haven't formed an opinion on this particular matter with these three companies, but across the econony in many countries -at least in the US and Europe- we often see that the rules are fine, they are just not applied. (The bank failures in the US earlier this year are a good example: bank regulations might be good enough also for the US, but the Silicon Valley Bank and others were exempted from the rules ... But as I said, I don't know whether there is a similar pattern here.)
The best thing would be if end users would stop buying at such companies, however, no matter what the rules are. I fully agree.
would someone please consider the shareholders...
