Amazon expands its perishable delivery service, putting pressure on traditional grocers

  • About what specifically? I am curious genuinely. Food distribution is messed up and can surely be done better. It is a very difficult space to innovate in however. So always interested in different perspectives

    • US military was deployed to LA protests despite low risk, general testifies

  • The food is coming from grocery stores, mostly the Whole Foods Market that Amazon bought over five years ago. So one is paying regular grocery store prices and a delivery charge (Prime membership or straight cash).

    It cannot be cheaper than grocery stores, one has to keep food somewhere with all associated costs of that and add the extra costs for the logistics of delivery to individual homes.
