Most deliveries aren’t urgent, but I can see the appeal if it’s fast enough to replace a trip to Lowe’s to buy some part you need now for a project. Also, meal delivery is time sensitive. Amazon always wants to deliver things faster.

But I think the idea is that shipping by drone will eventually be cheaper than a delivery truck, not just faster.

Same principle as AI - replace the people on your payroll, keep more profits.

I think it’s probably more about reducing or eliminating the expense of human delivery drivers. Even if they need humans monitoring the drones, they’ll farm that out to Asia or Africa on the cheap and still make their money. The important thing is to make more money, there is never enough and anything and everything can be sacrificed for it.

giving people their treats faster is good business

Socially inhibited nerds than think we need it bc it's the future and "people just don't get it".

Just bc you can do it doesn't mean you should. But some people don't get it.

> Why do we need shit to be delivered this quickly?

Isn't the driving force for drone ports that it's delivered with more automation, fewer humans? i.e. cheaper and still just as fast.

It's a different evil.
