Finally someone who is able to draw the link between technology and job loss. You are right, the dimwits, even though being displaced, will look at the numbers and say they hired 50% more workers when in reality, they number of employees being employed for the work done actually decreased.
You also focused the analysis just on the direct jobs. By not having 3 other warehouses, I would say there are less security personnel, less cleaning crews, and a host of other support jobs that are not in existence.
So yeah $35 million for a piece of equipment is a bargain for Amazon when you consider all the labor (plus construction costs) they are truly saving.
And where do you think that automation will be in 3 more years?
Simply mind blowing when people take the time to witness what is truly taking place.
