The linked article describes perfectly, at least for me, why I so love my Amazon Prime membership. I can't count the number of goods and services I've procured at a much lower price than through more traditional means. Oftentimes, something I've purchased arrives free within two days -- and is frequently delivered by a Lyft driver who accepted the delivery gig through an app on their phone (there's your "gig economy" for you).
Of course, this sort of change isn't good for everyone, most especially the brick-and-mortar retail sector and all those mom-and-pop stores I grew up with. And I don't know what to say or do about that, either.
Amazon Prime does more for northern food security than federal subsidies, say Iqaluit residents.
"Politics is just show business for ugly people."

"The consensus in Iqaluit seems to be that everyone with a credit card has an Amazon Prime membership. That’s because people can often find groceries cheaper online than in local stores, despite government food subsidy programs.
“Amazon Prime has done more toward elevating the standard of living of my family than any territorial or federal program. Full stop. Period,” a local principal, who declined to speak further, said on Facebook."
