The supermarket megachain Walmart recently announced they would be expanding their drone delivery services to four new locations in several Texas towns – North Richland Hills and Tarrant Parkway, on top of the existing locations in Lewisville and Frisco.
Supermarket News said the company has partnered with Wing, a drone firm owned by Google, and another company called Zipline.
This expansion will bring the ultimate convenience of drone delivery to communities across the DFW area. Customers will have access to a broad assortment of items from Walmart available for delivery to their home in just minutes.
Drone delivery is not just a concept of the future, it’s happening now and will soon be a reality for millions of additional Texans.
said Prathibha Rajashekhar, SVP, Innovation & Automation, Walmart U.S.
Forbes says: ‘To order products via Wing drone delivery, customers download the Wing app and enter their address to check if their home is within the Wing drone delivery range. The service gives customers a delivery option to receive items in 30 minutes or less and some deliveries can happen as fast as 10 minutes, according to Walmart.’
Since Walmart enabled their partnerships in 2021, the company has been able to reach ‘60,000 homes because both Wing and Zipline have been approved by the FAA to fly their drones without a dedicated observer being able to see the drone at all times, known as Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), which enables drone delivery to more Texan households,’ Forbes added.
However, personal footage has shown that some of the deliveries are not the most graceful to say the least:
“Our first few months delivering to Walmart customers have made it clear: Demand for drone delivery is real,” said Wing CEO Adam Woodworth of the expanded service. “The response has been incredible from customers ordering drone delivery from Walmart every day. If this milestone is any indication, we believe 2024 is the year of drone delivery.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I do not feel bad for you in the slightest if your victuals and items get destroyed or lost if you order them via a drone.
Can we get any more lazy? What a joke.
Proverbs 15:19 The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
These stupid concepts are direct fulfillments of the Great Reset/4th Industrial Revolution, part of the smart city life by 2030 the World Economic Forum has written about.
In our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.
Once in awhile, I will choose to cook for myself. It is easy – the necessary kitchen equipment is delivered at my door within minutes. Since transport became free, we stopped having all those things stuffed into our home. Why keep a pasta-maker and a crepe cooker crammed into our cupboards? We can just order them when we need them.
The WEF wrote in an essay
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Check the headline. It’s “arial”, not “Ariel”. Good ‘ol spell check.
Oooooops, it’s “aerial”, not “Ariel” or “arial”. Guess it’s not “spell check”. It’s a problem word, I guess, not to be tackled before a cup of coffee.
Lol:)
