Tells you a lot about why "the market" won't always give you the outcome you're looking for. People value delivery more than ever right now. It's literally saving lives. However that value does not result in the people taking risk to provide the delivery getting any more money.

As others have mentioned these workers have so little leverage right now because of the massive unemployment. So even if Amazon was to charge customers more, they could totally just pocket the money and the warehouse/delivery/grocery people would have no position.

It's so completely unfair. Everyone risking their lives to feed us right now should probably be making 2-3x normal pay (and we should be paying a lot more for their services).

Asking people to pay a lot more when many of the people who will be paying that premium are now unemployed is gonna hurt those who are most in need.

Which is why the government should step in and impose rent freezes and increase unemployment pay, as they've done in other countries.
