Today is the last day of operations for the Amazon Fresh stores in Friendship Heights, and across America, with the exception of California where Governor Gavin Newsom has forced the grocery chain to keep operating until March to comply with the state's superior layoff notification requirements for grocery stores. I'm reminded of when some states required TV broadcasts to continue longer, even as living room sets were allowed to go dark in Maryland and other jurisdictions with corporate puppet elected officials. Some states just take better care of their (non-homeless) residents. Let's take one last look at the ambitious Amazon Fresh experiment in Friendship Heights, as the final grains of sand cascade into the bottom of the hourglass:

That’s one heck of a weird digression.
8:31: It's an apples-to-apples comparison of state regulations protecting residents from a nationwide shutdown, so actually rather brilliant, I must say.
you are so chronically negative about where you live. It's always the county's fault for the "moribund" economy of business closings - never market conditions, or regular turnover, or a reflection of the poor business itself. Now the state's fault for letting this business close too fast - mr free market I guess you want the government requiring failing businesses to keep operating?
It's wild you're working at Amazon Fresh a week ago and then get told your store is closing in a few days and good luck.
Sensible to give people more notice.
