Walmart to End Uber and Lyft Delivery, Uber Rush Shutting Down

The future of delivery will be specialist delivery firms such as Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB) and Instacart that concentrate on one kind of order such as groceries or hot meals. One-size fits all delivery such as that promoted by Uber Rush appears to be a flop.

Other delivery services will take the place of Uber and Lyft, and customer service should not be affected, Blakeman said. Walmart owns the same-day delivery service Parcel and is working with some other delivery services including Deliv and Google Express. Walmart is also working with Postmates and DoorDash, Reuters reported.

Kroger hurt by Income Inequality and attacked by Jesse Jackson

Everybody should pay attention to what’s happening to Kroger because food deserts might be coming to their neighborhood soon.

The real problem is income inequality, people in many working-class neighborhoods; which are disproportionately minority, simply do not have the money to buy a lot of groceries.

The only way Kroger can make money is to operate markets in areas where it can sell expensive items like liquor and organic food. It is also ramping up delivery services which are more likely to serve affluent customers.
The reason for this is that middle and lower-class incomes are falling in the United States. When adjusted for inflation the average lower-class household income in the United States in 2000 was around $26,496 a year, by 2014 it had fallen to $24,074, Pew Research Center Data indicated. Lower-class families have $2,000 less to spend than they did less than 20 years ago.

This means Proctor & Gamble is now in the midst of an experiment. The experiment is, can a brand be sustained without massive amounts of advertising. Nobody really knows the answer but the future of P&G is riding on the outcome. That makes Proctor & Gamble a far riskier investment than it was, because the value of its main assets; the brands, is either slowly disappearing or growing in the Age of Amazon.
