MODERATORS
If Amazon was technologically ready to do this, they would have already. You think they prefer having the meat grinder of labor abuse they run globally, over what would be "buy once" robo-employees for the warehouses? It's been their top logistics focus for well over a decade, and while they've come a long way, it's still not ready for wholesale labor replacement for all those roles.
Amazon arent the ones who would distrubute UBIs.
But if people had access to UBIs, amazons working conditions and salary would improve drastically, or they'd suddenly decide they can actually afford those robo-workers because developing that technology is cheaper than taking care of their workers when the workers have options.
