The animated graphic from NPR shows how the economy has changed over time. Interesting how jobs have shifted from production to services and distribution. "Peak Secretary" seems to have occurred in the mid 80's.

    Amazon's warehouses are already mostly automated. Making local storehouses and delivery truck interiors follow Amazon's pattern will be trivial. Plus, Amazon itself is generally rendering retail redundant in the first place; Amazon is already automating out of existence those minimum-wage Walmart jobs.

    No they aren't. I'm sure they would love for you to believe that but just look at the number of employees and outside contractors at any given site filling baskets.

    Making local storehouses and delivery truck interiors follow Amazon's pattern will be trivial.

    Are you prepared to buy everything you have in a warehouse surrounded by industrial robots, right down to gas-stations?

    Plus, Amazon itself is generally rendering retail redundant in the first place; Amazon is already automating out of existence those minimum-wage Walmart jobs.

    Walmart is eight times the size of Amazon and growing. Go look at a Walmart. Are there people inside?

    You really need to get out of your mother's basement and see the real world.
