We have drone Hysteria going on in our country now. Can you imagine what it will be like should Amazon start this program.

The Amazon marketing scam is a classic. I remember when Amazon first announced their drones in 2013 on 60 Minutes. They showed the public a store-bought drone with an Amazon sticker on it. Amazon got millions of dollars in free advertising on Cyber Monday.
Maybe the technology will be real this time

I remember hearing about this years ago as well. The technology and infrasture were obviously not there for such an ambitious plan. Today, however, may be different.

Fuck Amazon

I hope you can opt out. I don't ever want my deliveries to come by drone. Disturbing to myself and my neighbors (noisy, creepy, perhaps dangerous) and the package would never make it onto my protected porch. And one less job for a delivery driver.
