The ever present tech disruptor Amazon is at it again. First they buy online pharmacy company PillPack and beyond that they are also getting ready to build a grassroots delivery network that could sidestep UPS and the Postal Service. They are looking for people to build their own small businesses with up to 40 delivery vehicles to help them speed up delivery times. Mike Snider, tech reporter for USA Today joins us for the latest.
Finally, comedies are becoming a grim business for Hollywood. Traditional comedies are struggling at the box office and you can thank superhero movies, Netflix and YouTube.
