“Let’s talk about wage theft by large corporations, or when companies avoid paying workers what they are legally owed for time spent working. Several companies have been legally forced to pay stolen wages via class-action lawsuits: McDonald’s agreed to pay $26 million to settle accusations of wage theft in a class-action lawsuit by employees in California. Walmart was ordered to pay $4.6 million in backpay and damages to more than 4,500 employees. Amazon settled a wage theft lawsuit for $8.2 million, and Krispy Kreme was ordered to pay $1.1 million after investigators found widespread and frequent failure to pay workers. Huh, that’s so strange – all of this theft occurred, but there’s no mention of anyone going to jail. But then how will they learn their lesson? Oh and before you say, ‘Trevor, you can’t put a corporation in jail’ – says who? They always say corporations are people, so why doesn’t America treat them like American people?” —Trevor Noah
“Every single time a company gets busted stealing their workers’ wages, you know what they should do? They should say that the company’s headquarters need to be taken to prison. You hear that, Amazon? Same-day delivery is gonna be a lot harder when you have to smuggle that air fryer in your butthole.” —Trevor Noah
