To the human traffickers, I will appear in court and defend your innocence. You were pushed into an underworld without intending to yourself, and in most cases, likely had little or no choice in the matter. Life is hard, I understand, I am here for you too #DefendHumanity AllLifeIsSacred

Re:90k Packages Disappear Daily in NYC on Tuesday December 03, 2019 @09:44AM (#21692611)
The capacity of parcel shops seems to be a lot more than 90k based on my unsubstantiated guesswork; more likely things aren’t bad enough to merit a change https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/27/nyregion/nyc-amazon-deliv... say 1.5M total deliveries per day.

Production: control of how something exists

Project management: control of when something

Advertising: control of how you become aware of something

Pricing: control of how you take ownership of something
