Could you imagine the field day that the House Un-American Activities Committee would have if they existed today the same way they existed back in the 1930s?

Had to log in through a proxy.. Looks like 'trend-micro' has identified this place as a porn site..
How did it come to that conclusion? Most of the stuff that's NSFW can't be seen unless you have an account and are logged in.
No clue man..
Maybe someone is watching me here.. Maybe a proxy is better for now.

Have some baked beans
Both yesterday and today, AMZL ran out of routes before I got there. I got paid surged rates to drive to the warehouse and drive back home.
I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

Whays that translate to in dollars in yo pocket?
Accepting a route is guaranteed pay whether it takes me 4 hours, 2 hours, or there's nothing available (which is highly unusual) as long as I show up on time..

Do you think that's because there's more people working for Amazon this season?
Holy fuck I'm grumpy. I've been waiting 18 months for the second to last document I need for my Father in Law's estate to wrap things up... long story short I chased this document down last week and they said they'd send it out that day, and so I finally get this motherfucker and the accountant says Canada Revenue Agency fucked it up! That's fantastic. I also got home to my house covered in a fine layer of paint dust because the building is painting the hallways and it seeped in the door I guess when they were prepping. Neat

No, I think it's specific to that warehouse. It's new, they have some issue that prevents indoor loading, so they don't run night routes, the whole thing is odd. I just caught it lucky on the off side of their estimates.
It's really hard to estimate workforce versus demand. Like all these gig technology jobs, the game is completely different the following year. Yes there are more people. But also yes, AMZL has shifted more volume to internal last mile. And I am learning more as they are learning more. I see patterns. First house on a block, house across from a T intersection, last house in a cal-de-sac. Those patterns mean the algorithm is identifying stops that decrease the van route productivity and is better served by a shlep in a car. It's evolving is the point.
I also think AMZL is an incubator. I am not even sure product sales is the point. They make SO much more money on AWS, that they use AMZL to create new value propositions. My wife lost her shit today at the NFL shop, because the estimated delivery dates and the "order has shipped" emails are based on label printing, not fulfillment. It's been a huge problem. Amazon solved that one with same day fulfillment and the only other example I can think of is Chewy. The largest cost with online shops has always been "last mile" delivery. It's the most expensive piece. So AMZL is modeling to solve that with direct delivery data. Sure, they first win by solving it for themselves, but the potential to solve it for all online retail is a far bigger business proposition.
