Is Amazon not wildly profitable? I don't see why they can't pay "wildly more".

Amazon retail (the operation in question) is not wildly profitable.

Maybe it shouldn't exist?

If they would prefer to be unemployed, they can do it regardless of whether amazon retail exists or not

If they would prefer to be homeless and hungry they're free to not work for the only employer in town who happens to be incredibly abusive
