It requires Amazon to directly employ delivery drivers in New York City and sets up a licensing scheme for last-mile delivery.

  Isn't that.. worse? Putting local businesses out of jobs and instead consolidating all of them directly under the company's umbrella?

    It would probably make the most sense for Amazon to scale out their on-road infra as drone delivery capacity (and much more slowly, the regulatory environment) is hammered out but I’m personally leaning towards the org going for a more practical response that ends up routing most packages through USPS instead.

    Are these really local businesses or are they employees forced to take on liability as a condition of employment? Tech has been mislabeling employees as independent contractors for years.
