On a tangent,
This morning Alexa told me the news about Amazon looking for more delivery drivers. They apparently want Amazon Prime to provide one day delivery service. Amazon is encouraging their employees to quit … and go into business for themselves as deliverers. Amazon will put up to $10,000 into a start-up and give three months separation pay to the employee. It sounded rather Uberish. I wonder if anyone will end up doing both Amazon and Uber. |

... only to be replaced by self-driving delivery trucks? I wonder if their delivery contracts will be exclusive? The whole thing puts me in mind of what Purdue does to chicken farmers. I guess we're all share-croppers now? /poorly considered but you see where I'm going with this.
