And once one is hit, more will soon follow, and there's really nothing Amazon could do to stop this once the dominos start falling other than just closing down every urban fulfilment center, which would require more convoys of stuff exiting the area, which would just mean more free lootboxes on wheels for enterprising groids to take advantage of.
The best they could do would be to hire PMC's to manage that, but even then expect some Diversity Hire DA to have a conniption fit when Academi or the Pinkertons ice a group of aspiring rappers when they try to tip a box truck full of PS5s
I'm not thinking about long term effects - just what the instantaneous response would be.
it's hard to know what would happen. I think you have to start looking in terms of the forces at play to make a guess. The overaching force is to downplay all non-white crime. But you also have the force of large companies not wanting to be stuck with hundreds of millions of dollars of non-performing assets. ( since most of them are in long term leases for the spaces, which they've built out with a ton of computerized stuff ) Third you have americans that are sick of crime ( e.g the Trump saying shoot looters in CA an get a cheer)
I wonder what kind of company like IKEA wanted to open a store in SF while Target has decided "fuck it" and closing stores over there.

You just need more diversity in the PMCs. What could possibly go wrong?
