Or because the logistics behind scaling are much much much easier than any physical product.

Why do the benefits of logistics go to people at the top of the food chain rather than being spread out evenly among everyone? That type of democratization of the benefits is the exact type of thing unions are meant to achieve.

  • That's how scaling works- more product and distribution with less people. As proven by Amazon, it's what consumers want. Unions only function by taking a share of money and giving it to less people- it's the only way each person makes more.

    You're saying that we should have more people get paid by artificially paying less people more...

      Isn't that backwards? Don't they take money that previously would be going to the CEO/C-suite; (aka profit), and give it to the union and it's members? The corporation certainly isn't sharing it with the public (aka lower prices) for the fun off it.
