Subject: Amazon rules the world.
Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing for Amazon to rule the world. For all our shopping to be done through them instead of trailing out to the shops. After all its only nostalgia which keeps us returning to the past and the old way of conducting our affairs.
The shops could close and become residential, only the eatery remaining open and a snug to hide away in to pass the time.
Mr Bezos could soon become the first trillionaire on his way to his first quadrillion, his empire could reinstall a modified version of the "slave trade" as he sought workers in his warehouses to work for free vouchers for Amazon Prime. Ironic perhaps since really there is nothing they could afford to have delivered anyway.
The indolent will benefit by having a reason to stay at home waiting the delivery. The roads will be clearer for the delivery vans to get around as people, not having a reason to go out put their cars up on jacks to avoid road tax. The ones who still have a job which artificial intelligence has not taken over, will be 'on line' anyway interrogating the minority who have to actually get out and do things.
It's the brave new fibre optics enabled world, distance and position mean nothing any more since, in the globalised pot, all being corralled into becoming peon's and only Jeff Bezos is out shopping.
