candidate for that. If USB cords and generic standardized
batteries and flatware and cleaning products and, and, and ...
can be pre-cached in regional warehouses, and even in (Amazon)
delivery vehicles and delivered to your doorstep in a day (or
even an hour) then maybe this could/should be an entirely
non-profit nationalized setup? Or the business of a CoOp? Or
back to the corner/cash/momNpop store?<br>
