It’s related to amazon in-sourcing shipping/delivery, no?


UPS actually went to Amazon and demanded that their partnership be redone. UPS asked Amazon for a pullback, and Amazon agreed. Amazon gets such cheap rates from UPS, and uses so many resources, that it is more profitable for them to reduce operating costs and ship fewer Amazon packages.

What happens if a candidate or their social media team retweets a meme?
quote:

I believe a meme is a image last time I checked


A meme is not limited to images.


quote:

A meme is a cultural idea, behavior, style, or piece of media that spreads from person to person—often through imitation or humor. In modern usage, especially online, a meme usually refers to an image, video, or text that is shared and modified across social media platforms to convey a joke, commentary, or trend.

There are two main types of memes:

Internet memes – These are typically humorous images or short videos with text, such as the classic "Distracted Boyfriend" or "Grumpy Cat." They're shared rapidly and often altered or remixed.

Cultural memes – These refer more broadly to units of cultural transmission, as originally defined by biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976), where he compared memes to genes in how they replicate and evolve.

Unenforceable and un-prosecutable ultimately.
