Maybe you misunderstood what I said. I didn't say anything about Amazon making workers' lives better there. Myself, I would rather work in a corner market than in an Amazon fulfillment center. My point was that as a consumer, I am super happy to be freed of the need to run to a corner store to buy something that can be delivered, especially if that's cheaper. (For similar reasons, people go to Costco and buy lots of stuff all at once, but I don't have a house big enough to do that.)
