Mega-warehouses: A next-day-delivery economy, but at what price?

Driven by “eCommerce” and supercharged by the stay-at-home shopping habits induced by COVID-19, mega warehouses are reshaping the landscape. The gargantuan, windowless structures along major highways, with 18-wheel tractor-trailers streaming in and out of loading bays, make a Walmart Supercenter look like a drive-through hamburger joint.

Monday letters: COVID safety protocols, appreciate Bruno, COGCC, wearing masks, Carbondale zoning, county commissioners, coronavirus caution

Be vigilant in your COVID safety protocols We are in the midst of a public health emergency. Science does not fabricate the severity of this pandemic. In what world are restaurants, gyms and retail businesses considered “critical” as our county commissioners suggest? Critical businesses mean grocers, pharmacies, health care facilities and utilities. If there is not compliance among the public after the endless messages on how to contain the coronavirus spread, the county deserves to be in a shutdown. With rising cases following Thanksgiving 700 new cases in the past two weeks what will Christmas bring? More of the same I fear. Until a vaccine is available to all, people must be vigilant in their hygiene, wearing masks, avoiding groups and practicing safe distancing. This is not an issue of personal freedoms because I am not free to infect you nor are you free to infect me.
