I don't see this as being a wise move, I am sure someone is going to find a way to bring these things down and steal the packages.
On a similar note, I am curious how the drone taxis are going to turn out, that would be cool.

Love it. That whole "wait up to 48 hrs" thing has got to go. BRING ON THE DRONES!

Necessary fat trimming. Fuck the teamsters. They're just as corrupt as the government at this point.

Teamsters work? News to me. I thought they just took huge mandatory cuts out of the people they're supposed to represent, and let them down when they need help.

How does this impact me getting my amazon packages in an hour or so after ordering?
I doubt amazon's union would represent me if a robot replaced me.

Drones are the future. I foresee drone dog-walking.
I'm tired of walking Peanut, let the drone handle my light work.

There probably some FAA law that would attached making it some sort of act of "terrorism" for violating Federal air space.

i think a dissproportionate amount of blame is put on the business owners rather than the banks who own the real estate

I bet importing millions of low skilled people would fix that

having millionaire and billionaire bosses that don't work more than anyone else is a disservice to the people that work for them
if a guy from ups delivers 17 boxes an hour that's 170 dollars he takes 3.5 of that for his pay check
where does the other 13.5 boxes go? is he not entitled to 20% of the check he does the delivery after all
