Which companies do you want to see go out of bidness?

Well, from their point of view it is.

@shellcase86: That's what I mean, yes. I don't believe that it is.

@MrGeezer: I don't disagree. But look at the post immediately above mine for context of why I responded with the point of view I did. I have multiple points of view on the subject and I recognize the validity of the drum you are beating.

Amazon mostly. The way staff are treated isn't anything to look past. For us consumers, it's easy to push a button for "1 click ordering" and wait for the order to arrive at your home. But for Amazon, that process isn't as simple. You read about the treatment and the conditions staff work in at times. Some of it is pretty bad (for example, timed toilet breaks and the issue of being tethered to the scanner and given x amount of time to pick an item off the shelf)

I don't want to see the high street fade away, it needs to adapt more to the modern trend of society.

For the losers it does fail them. It's competitive and forces you to push yourself which is too much effort for the softies.

@pimphand_gamer: Exactly. If you want something you need to take it.

I would put it as always seeking opportunities. There are many that don't rather they seek immediate satisfactions and desires and they become addicted to always wanting to seek that every waking moment, an endless instant reward system. The type of people that get a nice tax check and immediately go buy entertainment stuff instead of investing it in themselves or the guys that stay up all night, every night playing COD while procrastinating on the things that may be productive for them over the long term. Capitalism is all about using your brain to make a dollar and the markets dictate how much dollars that may be plausible. Leaving the self gratification people with little more than a weekly paycheck from a corporate that sees them as an asset to make investors money. So they would prefer a good living base wage so they can just focus on entertaining themselves but economically it's not structurally sound for the long term. They see these corporations as some kind of mean, greedy entity without realizing how greedy they are themselves. Typically the lower financial classes are more greedy than the wealthy whom often give lots to charities, family members and taxes while the poor receive a tax check and give little to nothing leaving those in the middle to spend what they earn on things to occupy their personal time. Leaving them butthurt that they have to work and a desire to see large companies go down even though at the micro economic level it effects them financially in one form or another.

@pimphand_gamer: Very well said.

Agreed.
