> "At the Neath working men's club down the road, one of the staff tells me that Amazon is "the employer of last resort". It's where you get a job if you can't get a job anywhere else. And it's this that's so heartbreaking."

So Amazon is the only employer offering jobs to people who tend to be rejected everywhere else, providing people that have no skills to offer to society a chance at getting a job, learning some skills and maybe getting a better job rather than staying at home and living on welfare, which is lower than Amazon wages and provides no future.

Please, remind me why Amazon should be blamed for this and not praised.
