    Both are entirely possible. But only one will exist, because Amazon absolutely needs all the money in the world.

    Progress!
    25 years ago I could get everything I need within 1 hour by riding the tram or my bicycle to the store.
    Where staff with a 3-year education recommended the right product for me, and weren’t aggressively pushed by their employer to upsell.
    (This wasn’t in the US though).
    Today, the only things left in the city are shops for smartphones, sports betting, vapes and barbers where the haircut somehow costs half as much as the mandatory minimum wage with taxes.

    Honestly I don’t think it can. In USA there is this shit called “law of precedence” and also there is this precedence that means companies are liable in court if they don’t prioritize shareholder profit.

    Any reform that could possibly work must probably start with outlawing stock markets and loans.

    We don’t want or need one hour shipping. We want Jeff bezos to divide his net worth equally among all his employees so they can have a comfortable living while working their asses off every day.

    Tbh I don’t really want a 1 hour lunch break. Wtf do I do with an hour? Mostly end up sat around bored for most of the time and not even getting paid for it.

    If it’s a paid break I am more interested.

    Meh, still not happy about their overpromise on drone delivery years ago. Would much rather have a drone drop something off than someone peeing in a cup in a truck.

    There’s nothing wrong with 5-7 buisness days, or 3-5. Whichever. We can go to the store if it’s an emergency.

      We can’t easily go to the store when many things don’t sell in brick and mortar anymore. When everything is online and the price is as low as it gets, it’s a battle of convenience.
      There is nothing wrong with longer shipping times, but they won’t exactly win customers over.
      I avoid Amazon by principle, but I’ve had to use it to source materials urgently on an occasion.

        Argos in the UK is pretty good, delivery or get it in store and their products are in a small warehouse upstairs or round the back. Generally find it’s cheap but not as shit as Amazon for quality.

          Yep; I wanted one of those Anker GaN chargers, went to Argos for it instead of giving Jeff more money. Got it same-day, even better.

    We used to have 2 day shipping. Now I’m lucky to get stuff the same week with prime. Price decrease? Nope price increase. Amazon sucks.

      That was my experience. Also the 2 hour prime stuff when offered was never stuff you needed, its gonna be paper towels or a hat or something competely stupid, not like a car part that if I could get it here in 2 hours would be really fucking helpful so I could finish the project today!
