Probably some big event had to happen to put a giant spot light, though if you read the comments in the previous HN thread there are many that still don't see any problem with Amazon, as long as someone gets paid 1 cent and can quit then you can exploit the person to the limit the laws allow you.
I am referring to the people that promote the idea that there should not be a minimum salary , that free market and freedom is always the solution, I am referring to people that say "you don't like it don't work there, nothing is forcing you"
About Amazon the issue did not appear to be the money but the working conditions and now with the virus this people are exposing themselves and family to risk Amazon should focus on reducing that risk and not on exploiting the situation to make the biggest profits ever.
> exploiting the situation to make the biggest profits ever.
But what makes you think they are trying to exploit the situation to make the biggest profit ever? On the contrary, their quarterly guidance say they expect all of Q2 profits to be spent on COVID19 related expenditure.
