Prime Day’s here again, July 16th and 17th, and the internet’s gonna be flooded with deals. But don't forget that behind all the free shipping and lightning discounts, half of Amazon’s warehouse workers are struggling to afford food or rent.

A third rely on programs like SNAP just to get by.

At the same time, Bezos is out here spending $50 million on a wedding. I’m not trying to guilt-trip anyone into not buying stuff, we all need things for sure. I just want you to pause for a second and ask:

what does it cost to make this convenience feel so cheap?
