Oh, something is way off.

Amazon has slowed delivery.  To be expected, not a complaint mind you.  Fuel costs.  They are being as absolutely efficient as they can be.  Sometimes air freight, given certain things, is cheaper.  So a group of packages may go from California to Kentucky or Oklahoma.  Then drive through.  Goes to bulk, weight, and fuel costs for whichever devices are involved.

Sort of odd, the way things end up.  However, and to be honest, I am surprised they are continuing to ship.  There seems no way they can be making money.  Even with the mass of objects, and else, they are at best getting to merely breaking even.  Then again, compared to most corporations today, that... might be as good as it gets?

Still, they are trying to keep from going over into negative territory.  Not sure if they are doing it.  But, I was thinking.  What happens if amazon goes dark?  Some suggest walmart, now that they are shipping.  But, if amazon can't do it, wallyworld certainly can't.  They can't even keep their online ordering, or search system, operation so as to be able to find products, or keep them in the 'shopping cart'.  As to efficiency of shipping... no.  Just... no.  They might try, but would either finish going bankrupt in a short spit, or just end home deliveries.

What would happen is we could go back to mom and pops, or traveling to the city.  Stung either by the pirate prices of old, or the gas prices to get to sale prices of competition.  What happens, happens, I guess.  But, I could see amazon failing, and quickly.  If prices go up even a bit more they will have to fold.  UPS and the other delivery services will fold as well.

I honestly have to think they have some kind of a special deal, somewhere, to even have their electronic doors open as is.  I keep expecting to order something and have them cancel the order, refund the money, and apologize for not being able to take orders until or unless things change.  It's coming.  When it does, expect prices at local stores to skyrocket.  That $20, or $12, t-shirt?  Double it.  Dress shirts?  Not south of $120.  Good slacks?  $250.  Though, too, beef running $12 for burger.  When it hits, it will hit everywhere.  Though, maybe, the numbers will just rise everywhere.  They aren't, on amazon, all that much.  And there is availability.  It's just that, for now, shipping is becoming quirky.  But either prices have to skyrocket, or they will simply fold.  It's coming.  Things almost had to change some time back, but really haven't.  Watch yourself out there.

A few fall, and life, thoughts.

I can't make my own videos, for many reasons.  So, I investigate those others have created.  Perfectly good, or well enough, for my beliefs and tastes.  Then I share those.  Here are a few, and quite good as fall settles in and winter approaches.  I'm not sure why they hit so strongly sometimes, but so be it.

The first is... well... food.  I am not, nor never will be... by choice... a vegetarian.  If needs be, so be it.  I would, if required, humbly, sadly, also be a cannibal.  No more than necessary, and hopefully never to the point of murder.  Odd though, how starvation, and teasing with foods, can turn one quite dark.  Never been to either stage, but have been hungry enough, that if food wasn't available elsewise, it could have been considered (even if I couldn't use those other foods, though which also meant I couldn't have used human meat... I just... couldn't eat anything, in spite of starving).  Thank God, and telling it as it is... was... may be.
