> FAANG workers are really entering and sometimes fully into "just following orders" territory. The lame social media posts from fellow tech workers about how things "should" be regulated gets tiresome. The real solution is to simply not work for them.
The thing is, Amazon, Walmart and fellow profiteers set up shop precisely where people have not much other choice than to work for them - in short, they set up shop in areas with somewhat decent traffic infrastructure, cheap real estate and lots of unemployment (and the latter two often come together).
So yes, the answer to the problem that is exploitative labor practices is government regulation, as it has been for the last two centuries.
