    Don't a lot of these companies also get goverment handouts for all sorts of ****. Amazon owner Jeff Bezos calls his goverment hand out's his winnings. $150 Billion or somthing like that. While fleecing billions out of different states in the U.S so he will build one of his sweat shops there.

    I don't know if they do here but you're right about some of hte ones in the states.

    It would be standard Ashley though, pay minimum wage and then get Govt. grants.
