Corporations went along with Covid insanity and now they pay the price. My eyes are dry.

And so it begins...the consequences of many poor decisions by leaders/lawmakers/company heads.

My daughter did CSA work from home 10 years ago. Nothing new. Enormous call centers make little sense.

Talk about slamming on the brakes.

For a long time, Amazon did have a leg up on the other online retailers. But most everybody else has caught up with regard to the logistics of online retail.
Just this week, I ordered clothing from LL Bean, a book from AbeBooks, and some food items from Thrive. All my orders arrived within a few days, about the same as with Amazon Prime.
I still have an Amazon account but I'm finding little difference (and even better pricing sometimes) going to other ecommerce sites.

There is no recession. The stock and bond markets are great. Everyone’s 401k are at their highest levels ever. Peace has broken out across the world. Crime is at an all-time low. Education is better than ever. Gasoline prices have been significantly reduced due to swift action and releasing SPR oil. Inflation has magically disappeared after passing the Inflation Reduction Act. COVID has been vanquished and the new boosters will keep everyone feeling safe and cozy.
Now we can get to the important business of diversity, inclusion and equity.

amzn’s absorption of warehouse space has driven rates sky high, in many cases, higher than office rates. There needs to be a come to Jesus in this sector and I guess this is it

I used to process health insurance claims from home. It was far less expensive for the company even though they paid for all my equipment.

Many people no longer have as much spending money. The Biden economy is taking it’s toll.

Closing Kennewick call center ... I don’t think that’s hit the local news yet.

As long as my latest Chinese $7.99 (free shipping) thingee gets here before they close...I’m OK.

The USA is going to be covered in half-completed commercial real estate projects again. I’ve seen this happen before where it takes a full decade or more to get them completed...or torn down.
Forty Four is a HUGE number. How many are still operating?

It’s going to take one or two decades to dig out from the COVID insanity heaped upon us by the CCC and the US Congress.

and it’s not that it’s 44 (although there’s another 25 mentioned as well) it’s that they are typically huge (200-500k SF each or bigger)
