Shares of Amazon were down about 2.5% Monday.

“Best economy evah.”

Americans are stupid and apathetic. The lessons will be quite painful.

About three years ago, Amazon bought a large warehouse in Maryland. Hundreds of grey vans delivered out of there. They did all kinds of renovations.

A few weeks ago, they moved out.

Yep, they voted for layoffs (and more crime), so no sympathy.

I'm convinced that Amazon's successes led to consumer, manufacturer, and retailer behavioral changes that as more and more people shop on-line, the companies set up their own websites.

I can find fewer and fewer brand name items on Amazon that I used to buy there. Now I buy from those companies directly on their websites.

Early warning signs of problems started showing back on

Amazon to Close 4 of its 5 US Call Centers, Shifts to Work-from-Home, after Closing 44 Warehouses, Halting Construction on 7 Office Towers

Unions were raising their demands across our/their fruited plain.

Rumors of Amazon warehouses being closed and delivery people laid off have been common since then.

Last Friday/Saturday, we, neighbors and friends in our area often had several Amazon deliveries from different delivery services. I had 2 from Amazon, 2 UPS, one regular mail and one special mail and 1 generic delivery with a plain white van and a guy in a tee shirt and jeans this past Fri/Sat.

My order for Salonpas patches went from early 1 day to yesterday with a late no show and nothing this morning being shipped.

One of our in laws’ back in the Midwest told us to increase the size of our mailbox from regular to extra large to hold stuff being sent by mail and avoid having our regular size mailbox overwhelmed and damaged by delivery people. Glad our new mailbox was set up last week with the stuff stuffed into it all week.
