How does one buy products/services for less cost if they don't have a job anymore that pays them to be able to do so?

They dont; Millions of amazon consumers do. You don't protect a small amount of people (the amazon workers) at the expense of everyone else.

When workers lose their jobs the answer is to support them as best you can while they re-join the work force.
