2-day prime in my 85% Black, economically repressed area, has been gone since 2020. i have the privilege to be mostly unaffected by it; i can afford, and have time , to go to local stores for most of my needs. my neighbors often don’t. i like to help them, but who helps the rest of the community?
This needs to expand to the Los Angeles area. I first started complaining about being a prime mem but never getting prime delivery over 5yrs ago. I called and filed complaints many times nothing. I would get some else to try and they would have prime delivery dates. Only this yr did it change back.
When Trump, Musk & "DOGE" destroys the FTC, us plebs will have even less rights than corporations already have.
We are in trouble when half the country think its a good idea to have out of touch billionaires make decisions for us that only benefit the 1% they are a part of 🤦♂️
DC Black Neighborhoods crawl w danger. 70% of all murders r committed by Blacks. Mostly their own. Do not blame the delivery. Prime Members in the ghetto suggests sights improve. Hope so.
It's not just those neighborhoods (while I absolutely believe they'd discriminate against certain income classes). Prime delivery has become increasingly slow without any valid rationale as to why.

Amazon is slow all over! And you pay for Prime they say 2 days (used to be 1 day?) m, for deluvey, then you get notice it's going to take seceral days when you could have just run to the store! It's BS all around.
