Amazon in Waterloo Region

[jamincan]

This is always my objection with "jobs" claims. I mean, efficiency can be beneficial, but mostly it's just lining Bezos's (being a main shareholder) pockets.  That money is coming out of local businesses which get replaced.  Maybe there are some new jobs, but most are just worse jobs replacing existing jobs.

If you are thinking of retail jobs being replaced, they generally don't pay any better than Amazon. And someone will always make money on every transaction, or else the business will be going under.

I was actually thinking of the local delivery companies in KW, but now that I think about it, Amazon already handles their own packages in KW anyway.
