Amazon Air: The end of humanity is upon us.

I think this will be revolutionary not only for Amazon - but for all online shopping too.

but amazon holds like, 60% of online shopping

Only 60%? I thought much more than that.

[Night Fox]

but amazon holds like, 60% of online shopping

you know how big 40% is right

[Titanium Man]

it was just a wild guess
my point is by saying "not only for amazon but all online shopping" its pretty much means just amazon since amazon is like the definition of online shopping

am I the only person who thinks this is a good idea

[*FacePalm*]

Wonder if this is the technological breakthrough for flying cars and such.

[Funkadelic]

Because only farmers and people who live in the south are all uneducated and conservative republicans who are also conspiracy theorists that watch Fox news all day and believe Obama is a reptilian antichrist.

I mean, if you want to be a richard about it, sure. Lol. Just have to turn whatever I say against me.

No. It just has some quirks that need to be worked out, assuming they haven't already fixed the major problems with this.

No

I still don't think that applies to anything but the USPS

I'm not sure if I'm on the right websites or if this is correct, since I don't know my way around US Statutes, but this is what I found.

In there it claims;

Whoever steals, takes, or abstracts, or by fraud or deception obtains, or attempts so to obtain, from or out of any mail, post office, or station thereof, letter box, mail receptacle, or any mail route or other authorized depository for mail matter, or from a letter or mail carrier, any letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or abstracts or removes from any such letter, package, bag, or mail, any article or thing contained therein, or secretes, embezzles, or destroys any such letter, postal card, package, bag, or mail, or any article or thing contained therein...

So, I think the law covers any and all mail/packages carried by anyone or thing, including USPS or any other companies.

And the punishment is a maximum of 5 years imprisonment and/or a fine.

I doubt anyone in the ghetto can afford Amazon Prime.

A lot of you forget this isn't a completely public service. It's Amazon Prime Air, which is a "discount" service provided by Amazon that removes most taxes, has free two day shipping, and low prices; it has a yearly fee. You're not gonna get some random Joe Schmoe using this service considering most of you didn't realize it was a Prime service or knew what it even was, much less a welfare recipient using it.

I have Amazon Prime, I know what it is fyi. And not everyone that live in ghettos can't afford things, you think that not a single person from the ghetto with order with Amazon Prime.

That's only USPS, since the federal govt reserves the right to establish post offices. Granted it's still stealing and interfering with a company's business, it's still not directly covetable by what you posted.

The chance of someone in ghettos having AP is like 0.5% and if think they'd be smart enough not to use the drone service if they know stuff isn't gonna get to them in their stuff neighborhood.

this is amazing, but what if the quadcopter cant access the front door? like what if there are trees?
and is it gps-controlled, or is someone controlling it?
edit: im probably going to buy something just to watch the quadcopter

These things are smaller than people, so they can go where people go...

And yes, they use GPS with an onboard computer.
