Amazon is a disrupter and took advantage of a technology shift that changed consumer behavior.

Amazon played a role but so did consumers who realized they could go to a big box store, research, compare, demo and then buy cheaper online.

Technology disruption and commodity manipulation do not have the same drivers or intentions.

I don't think in the early days Amazon intended on purposely putting mom & pops out of business, they just got lucky and rode the wave towards e-commerce.

The current oil crisis started when the Russians decided they weren't gonna follow OPEC and wanted to increase production in a unilateral fashion. Mohammed bin Salman laid the smack down and said, ok, you wanna play? We can play and we can ride out short term losses to win the long game.

I think you're giving Amazon way too much benefit of the doubt, but I own a retail company, so obviously I'm biased. Good points about oil, most of us never think past how nice it feels to fill up cheap. Same way most of us don't think about the fact that it's nice to have cheap retail products produced and sold from overseas companies, but that doesn't do us any favors either.

I was looking for a picture and found a political tirade.

Still figuring out setup for the mondo.

My bad, didn't mean to derail the pic thread.

Larry's screenshot was well intentioned but in my neck of the woods there are millions of jobs related to it at stake.

Please carry on.

What drone you all using?

I went with the 3/8”. The female receiver comes with a threaded plastic O-ringed plug in the bottom of it if. I took them out since they are mounted about 2’ above the waterline on my boat.

Thanks @z28ke
