This is a company that pays almost no Federal taxes, whose employees are forced to seek aid from the Federal govt. The least they could do is offer paid sick leave for those affected. Hardcore capitalism is doing as much harm to the US during this crisis as the virus itself.

No federal taxes is false. Amazon pays lots of federal taxes. In some years, they’re paid almost no federal income taxes in the US. One specific kind of tax in one jurisdiction. Our system is set up to incentivize companies and innovation with various mechanisms that change how taxable income is recognized. Not only are Amazon’s taxes legal, but also they are desirable for society at large. The alternative is that there wouldn’t be an Amazon or many other companies.
