Not All Smiles Are The Same

If ordering "1984", George Orwell's dystopic masterpiece of newspeak, sold out in the few bookstores left in town, consider a non-order from Amazon, even if you've paid $99 to be prime and gain free shipping, not to mention a two-day delivery. Still, consider the real costs to our marketplace's buy-o-diversity. This single micro-organizationism, an e-commerce suck-up and transactor of transactions, making an art out of the financial loss in order to gain the world, has gamed us. We went for the bargain, the convenience, following that smile that now lurks behind canned goods, pasta and potatoes and, well, just about everything. Are we not the drones?
