ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

The leftist idiots in these progressive cities are destroying their economies and yet the people keep voting for them. Amazing level of stupidity.
Through all this, Amazon has shed much of it’s presence in the area. Last year, Amazon bookstores in San Jose and Walnut Creek have closed, as well as other Amazon stores in Berkeley, Corte Madera, and Burlingame. Meanwhile, Amazon Go stores, originally planned as being completely cashless, were struck hard by a city-wide ban on cashless only stores, passing a law that said that all stores must accept cash as cashless stores disincluded low-income people who may not have cashless options or a smartphone. With costs going up at the stores as a result, as well as the general economic downturn due to the COVID-19, Amazon Go stores entered 2023 barely hanging on.
And it got worse for Amazon in the Bay area this year too. In addition to the 263 Sunnyvale employees being laid off, a Milpitas development was abandoned and a warehouse in San Francisco was put up for lease. That all led to Monday’s announcement from Amazon that all Amazon Go stores in San Francisco would be closed, along with a few in New York and Seattle.
