Yeah, you know, I hate to say it, but there’s a kernel of truth in what AOC is saying here. Amazon has made off like a bandit during covid19, and a lot of folks have lost their jobs at brick-and-mortar businesses that have shut down by bureaucrats while Bezos gets to operate with a free hand. It’s like, “Your job at a small business has been eliminated as the politicians and petty bureaucrats, but, hey, no worries you get a job doing fulfillment for Jeff Bezos’ racket.” I’m kinda reminded of the George Bailey speech in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, “This town needs this measly one-horse institution if only to have some place where people can come without crawling to Potter.”

Amazon is nothing more than an internet mall filled with on-line merchants. As for delivery services from their facilities, they're taking over a job that the USPS can no long do reliably..........

I'm waiting for a package that was assigned a USPS tracking number on 12/14 and there still is no indication that it has left that terminal......

Shopping malls replaced the brick and mortar businesses and now the internet is replacing the malls........
