Whatever they are paying them is just enough to come back next week. That's why they are there.

They ain't gonna get out the ghetto working there.

They should be grateful huh. Sounds like what a Mississippi factory owner, Georgia farmer, or Tennessee construction company would say.

Poverty wages is still exploitative. Being better than nothing isn't the issue. That is why we have discussions around raising the minimum wage which is 5.15 in Georgia, for example, to a living wage of 15.

Again, they are in Tijuana to pay workers less than USA. Exploiting their labor laws and market. But as long as it keeps the price of our goods down we will continue to look the other way.

This is the 1st thing that I thought while scrolling through the pictures. This center will surely be a security and logistical nightmare.

I think that’s why the cartels allowed it to even happen. Think about where the workers are gonna come from, fam.

FYI - They don't give a rat's ass about what Black people in Harlem get
paid so why am I worried about what MF's in Tijuana get paid again?

Many of them are Black too. Just speak a different language.

[Helico-pterFunk]

Why alot of people say fuck Amazon, Walmart, etc ...

 

[tpotda]

yeah i haven't made an Amazon order since 2014 when i became aware of their practices, not enough ppl willing to boycott tho

Why alot of people say fuck Amazon, Walmart, etc ...

 

[Helico-pterFunk]

Mom was in Mexico City in Dec’ and said Walmart had a big presence there ...

Only a blind man wouldn't see what they are doing, cartel already partner's in this shit cartel allowed them to build it for a reason.

 

[850credit]

Just don't tell them that.....

Yeah. I'm sure they don't know and respect their heritage.

Just like here ..some do some don't.

You got it though.

 

[william busa]

I don't know how much it costs to build those but they built one last year in League City, Tx just to have it sitting there and not being used.

 

[crossovernegro]

I actually know a guy whose company just moved operations to Tijuana late last year.... they sent a guy up to NJ to train with my friend (who was getting laid off, so he's training his replacement), and then sent him back to Mexico. Like a week after he got back down there he was murdered.
They actually asked for a volunteer from up here to fly down and train people on-site down there....not sure if somebody eventually accepted, but I know the first answers were all "aw hell noooo!"

[Soul On Ice]

You guys don't think they're building amazon warehouses in Beverly Hills and Hudson Yards here in America do you ?

Any is plenty!

It’s still $5 in Georgia?!

Read somewhere that like 30% of their warehouses are unused.

 

[WattDogs]

Hate to get on my COINTELPRO but....

It's obvious that that's a future FEMA camp.

The New World Order is coming....fast.

Call me paranoid if you want but tell me Amazon, Wally World & other companies building massive "warehouses" in dilapidated areas that go unused to be used as future FEMA camps isn't logical.

 

[Piff Henderson]

It's like the Costco from the film Idiocracy.
