RE: Highly mechanized is subject to interpretation. How much labor is required;-) Isn't the purpose of developing a "highly mechanized" facility to reduce labor costs? I would assume it is. However, Amazon as of yet has never given an honest answer to anything. So "highly mechanized" can mean we need more people to run it. That way we can lose more money. My question remains. How much labor are they saving? No one can answer that Amazon prefers to never give out information. They are perfectly content to spend the equity market's money. That is all they have done. Glenn
