"Let me just define what logistics is first. It’s originally a term from the military. It’s talking about the deployment of goods to battle sites like weapons, arms, shelter, and food. Well, you know, just like getting the kind of things that you need to fight a war beyond just military strategy. And in this context, it just means the movement of goods around the country, getting things where they need to be in order to be sold.
It used to be a pretty simple industry. If you procured something from a supplier or a vendor, you’d store it in a warehouse for a while. It was a very manual operation.
I think one defining feature of the retail revolution, wherein companies like Walmart and Home Depot and Amazon eventually came to dominance, is that they have really perfected the logistics process. They’ve made it tremendously sophisticated compared to what it was in the postwar period.
I’ve tried to track Amazon’s automation game, its deployment of different robotics technologies, in order to combat a dominant narrative that you hear in the organizing world and in the business world that Amazon and other logistics companies are on the cusp of what they call “dark warehouses,” which is to say warehouses where packages are primarily sorted by robotics technology, and you’ve got like a skeleton crew of maintenance people. But for the most part, human workers are not part of the equation."

Transit officers to take up arms on Darwin's 'dangerous' bus network
By Roxanne Fitzgerald

Transit officers will soon be armed with guns, as the NT government tries to bring violence under control on one of the country's most dangerous bus networks.
