Lyft laying off 13% of staff

I always think of it as more of a DoorDash thing. There was that whole partnership with Starbucks immediately before the implosion.

You are right that DoorDash might be closer to Kosmo (and may also go under). I meant that Amazon Prime showed that a scaled up, same day delivery service could be viable and profitable

I wouldn't call Amazon Prime same day. Amazon had prime now for awhile in response to Google's Express program; these were both same-day services that delivered in 2-4 hours from order placement. Both programs were cancelled when it became clear they were unsustainable.

DoorDash and Uber were fun while they lasted.

Maybe someone will try and fail again in 10 or 15 years.
