I see posts on here from Robert Reich and others pointing out the ridiculous profits some have made off the pandemic situation.

 

Here is a scenario about that..

 

Nestle/Purina decides to send all of its products to Chewy reducing its transportation/distribution costs.

 

Chewy contracts with FedEx Ground to deliver all of its products, so it has minimal transportation/distribution costs.

 

FedEx Ground uses contractors who do not pay overtime to the drivers. More freight just means more profits for those contractors and nothing but longer hours for the drivers.

 

People can't just go to the stores to buy the products because the stores are empty.

 

The retail stores will cut workers or close down entirely.

 

Are any of the employees at the 3 colluding companies getting paid union wages with benefits?

 

I am not a fan of capitalism in any form. E-commerce is even worse than brick and mortar retail.

 

Death to Wall Street and the entire stock bunch of bullshit.
