Whole Amazon Synergies
Re Amazon Whole Foods. My first reaction was wrong. This is great for Amazon. $15b is cheap for the analytics they will be collecting. The only minus is paying $30m per physical location. Amazon will be able to integrate lots of Whole Foods SKUs into the Amazon space very quickly and profitably. Tea. Spices. Baking goods including tools. Pastas. And every Amazon customer is exposed meaning more volume and economies of scale. Of course the supply chain will be squoze dry and get the treatment Walmart gives their suppliers but you know, eggs and omlets.

Good Morning!
To the winner goes the spoils! Will it be USPS, UPS or FEDX they acquire next?
This is where some trust busting comes in. No Whole Foods anywhere close to me. Where is Teddy when you need him?
Bull mooses arise! You have nothing to loose but your access to good quality and service.
They better not go after Publix or Home Depot!!!
They will pick up the hollow infrastructure of Sears soon enough.
Maybe they will put a BofA in every Home Depot. [\ducks]
I expect the PTB will wait until it is a real problem (after they all profit for it) then they will protect the people from the monopoly.
It will be a great fight over the taxes as Amazon starts paying them. District squabbles will be epic.
To my horror, I see a full grow cup of sawgrass in the back which has grow 5 feet in the great rains. I hate Walmart and B of A. may saw grass grow over their Florida stores and Banks.
Fully grown clump.
My most amusing zoning story, where the developer nearly killed himself working with the zoning peole. The development next door had bigger houses and lots so as suggested he made the houses and lots that backed up to the big lots, somewhat bigger, with somewhat bigger houses than then the rest of the subdivision. IadeY pitch, and they turned us down. So we were leaving looking very sad, shoulders droopping, when the cairn an lady says, Wait, what did we just do? I daid, you turned us down. She said we shouldn't do that, this is Good zoning. So they voted again, and voted in our favor. And we left all happy. Just shows how random it all is.
Lord. Made my pitch.
Lady chairman.
Said
More zoning. People can testify. Arvida, was big in Miani, wanted a convenience sore and change of zoning from single family. Lady was testifying against the best zoning lawyer in Miami. She started off gentle and moderate, picked up steam, and ended loud and in tears She won. She should have gotten an Academy award.
Then there is the poop story (actually it was setic tanks.)
"Convenience Sore."
Lol!
Autocorrect considered dangerous.
Finally made it to my special VM for posting on EN. RD, you asked some question on RHCN about email?????
I just left a few snide comments a week ago about Trader Joe's and another warning you about the dangers of allowing blood to build up in your alcohol caffeine circulatory system. Nothing important.
Oh, yes.
I may have to introduce some Advil into my medication delivery system today due unaccustomed physical activity. Switching between desk work and lab work isn't as easy as it used to be....
The Trader Joe's comment was about people who left California. Never knew one who didn't convince themselves they didn't regret it. Back in the dark ages we would exchange hostages. We'd send Trader Joe's goodies to New England and they would send Birch Beer soda and Marshmallow Fluff. Now the world is smaller and they gave TJs.
Night all...I guess we're done for the day
No movie to night and getting tired of coat hanger TV reruns, so cards it is!
Next post likely to be from Las Vegas.
Do you gamble there?
Strikes me as boring.
New post?
Wakey wakey East Coasters! !.
On our way to Utah. We get cheap Hilton stays. Gambling sometimes. $20 of nickel slots or $20 of blackjack. Maybe. Good restaurants incl some awesome buffets. One where you could spend the entire time just eating delicious crepes entire through dessert and never go to the other 95% of the counter. We walk everywhere. A dozen miles is common. A lot that used to be free now charges but still the hotels have rotating displays and seasonal art/decoration. Then on to real adventure. We will skip the LV volcano show however as the real life extended Yellowstone swarm has be a tad concerned. Park City would be the edge of the total destruction zone.
Good Morning!
Off to the Races!
Happy father's Day, all you Fathers out there!!!
Hey Mr. engineer, could we bleed off some of the heat, use it for energy and delay the date of destruction a few weeks, or until civilization Falls, so it doesn't matter?
I got beer ingredients! 🍺X60.
Geothermal power has some steep engineering challenges but yes we should be tapping the temperature differential for energy.
Morning... Spent some time with my adult daughter before heading off to work. Steak dinner with the some tonight... Yum
I guess everyone is with their families instead of blogging... Gotta head over to my son's house myself soon
7pm and 111degrees. 114 tomorrow. I doubt we will be doing much desert hiking.
Never ever that hot here,thought the humidity can be awful.
Temperature 77°. Hahahaha.
Wakey wakey, any Floridians.
House up another $100. My former neighbor sold early and lost out on 100,000$. This is real, not imaginary money.
Up $100. My neighbor sold for 225 5 years ago Now Zillow has it at 425k $.
That's a lot of money in 5 years.
I told him to rent it.
Previous post incorrect, obviously wrong.
Morning all... Looks like we'll be dealing with the muggies all week long. I broke down and put the ac in the window yesterday
I am sitting outside under the porch roof, eating ClEmin tines ND sipping water after lant in more Marigolds
Clementines and
The Paris Airshow. Airbus unveils a new configuration with 80 more seats and " no loss of comfort." Mooooo.
Good Morning from the Mille high city.
Great Father's Day at the races, I guess I will have to learn chassis set up to turn left. LOL!
Looks like London may have a retaliation event.
Whos's retaliating against whom?
Caught a quick news story before bed that a van ran down a group of people outside a mosaic in London.
Mosque?
Broken fingers and not enough coffe.
You came to the right place! Heading down to the lobby right now. Just a Starbucks but the Dunkins isn't within walking distance.
New post. Be sure to read the article. Absolute insanity.
Did you mean Covfefe
