I don’t see how they can build so many distribution centers and be profitable.

They will save money on shipping though.

His profit margins can’t be very much, since he relies on volume, but the building/human/technology costs are going to shave them even thinner.

I wonder what a drone costs, even mass-produced? And does each one require an operator like 0murderer/CENTCOM’s assassination drones in the ME? Or does GPS/computer do the whole round-trip?

I’d guess Bezos has teams of number-crunchers already working on it/done the crunching, and thinks it’s doable.
