But it would probably makes economic sense. A big cost of delivery is the personal that actually does the delivery. It might not be viable for all packages but probably for the premium delivery that promises sub 1 hour delivery.

- maxerickson 1y agoReplacing jobs with better or lower cost alternatives is not an externality. Like if you switch from a low quality butcher to a higher quality butcher, you are not imposing a cost on the lower quality butcher. You can not like it as a consequence of course, whether it is an externality or not.
