Scott Galloway: Why 2021 will be a year of reckoning for Big Tech
It began in July, when the House Judiciary antitrust subcommittee brought in the CEOs of the Four (Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook) for a day of public testimony. Contrary to just about everyone’s expectation, the members of the subcommittee had done their homework and came loaded for battle. Building on a year of document review, interviews, and analysis, they used the companies’ own emails against them, and pinned the CEOs to their tastefully appointed office walls like butterflies in a case. … [Read more...] about Scott Galloway: Why 2021 will be a year of reckoning for Big Tech

Grocery stores were already in flux. The pandemic could change them forever
Stores are also using their ample parking lots to create loading areas where customers can pick up orders placed online without having to go into the store at all. This approach, Price notes, has some downsides, as workers are left to weave through rows of cars to find the correct recipient. A more orderly system is the fast-food-style drive-through, which Price says is beginning to be implemented at some Safeway locations and could be a permanent feature. “That will almost certainly over time start to change the way site organization and site entry works.” … [Read more...] about Grocery stores were already in flux.
