Amazon's Latest Plant To Minimize Labor

If you’re a robot stealing somebody’s job, it’s best to stay hidden.

That’s what Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos appears to be thinking, as his Seattle-based web giant has contemplated a two-story, automated grocery store in which a staff of robots on the floor upstairs grabs and bags items for shoppers below.

The ground level of the futuristic prototype - a supermarket-sized version of its recently unveiled “Amazon Go” convenience store, with a bigger layout that could span anywhere between 10,000 and 40,000 square feet - would be devoted to goods that shoppers typically like to touch, sources briefed on the plans told The Post.

Those could include as many as 4,000 items, spanning fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and cheeses, and grab-it-and-go stuff like beer and wine, the sources said. Pharmacies might also might spring up at some of the high-tech locations, as Amazon looks to break into the lucrative sector, insiders said.

But for many, the most striking feature of the bigger stores is that they could operate with as few as three employees at a time. Sources said the plans call for staff to max out at 10 workers per location during any given shift.

“Amazon will utilize technology to minimize labor,” a source close to the situation told The Post.

When the US decided to exterminate the Plains Indians, they hired mercenaries to kill all the bison. Amazon's plan to eliminate the US worker is the modern equivalent. Without jobs, you will have no freedom, and you will live and act as you are told - if you get to live at all.

And please note well how much Bezos is against "America first" Trump. It's not because he loves immigrants, but because he wants to get rid of you and your continual interference in his plans to dominate that part of the world he claims as his own.
