While I don’t agree with her sentiment, I can absolutely believe some human union employees would say this. I don’t know if this applies to Amazon jobs, but in the union I know (caregivers) one problem is workers with very few hours have to pay the same monthly dues. Still not really a valid point for most people, but for those few that get caught in it, definitely bittersweet and they will grumble.
I used to consider myself libertarian. Now I understand how basic that is.
Think of it this way, when you’re way ahead in a video game (one without anti-snowball mechanics), how hard is it to maintain and grow that lead? First, when it’s a team game, you’re likely to have opponents just leave, or start fighting each other.
Some people will say the world isn’t zero sum, which is true. But when they take the whole sum, it sure feels that way.
Besides just what is right, the economy works better for everyone when people have money to spend. People who have something to lose commit less crime. If all the money does collect in very few hands, the economy grinds to a halt.

I remember feeling this way when I was 18. I thought “well the laws already cover me, so why am I paying for this?”
Anyway, I grew up since then.
