[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3807899, member: 26737"] Well, that’s certainly one way to spin it. From what I’m hearing, Amazon is moving to smaller, more decentralized distribution centers to make their distribution more efficient and decrease delivery times. The idea that Amazon is trying to bring in a “great reset” is ludicrous— that’s the last thing Amazon wants. They need consumers buying stuff for them to continue being profitable. There is the thought that they want to do for commercial real estate what they’ve done with cloud computing. They had this need for IT for their own uses, so they turned it into a profit center (AWS). They need these more geographically-distributed distribution centers, so they can make money by leasing out the excess capacity. [/QUOTE]
