Lessee, were those the mills

Lessee, were those the mills based on cheap slave-picked cotton in the 1800s or the turn-of-the-century sweatshop sewing factories or the smoke-belching factories we shipped to China so they could have the 10 most polluted cities in the world? Amazon pay isnt bad discounting a lack of asbestos or fire hazard or working 14 hours a day straight wage. Probably work was better in the 50's... can we go back to supplying ravaged Europe with stuff?

The Uber model is nothing new, just piecework with venture capital money behind, though as a commenter at Salon noted, Uber solved a huge cab scarcity in the Bay Area. Whether this is an issue in Mass, I dont know.

Of course Boston is a hub for new tech because of its universities - hard to replicate outside the metro area. Infrastructure, economies of scale, a well-educated available workforce and one-stop-shopping all matter. Krugman I think won a Nobel for clustering theory, may be worth a lookie.
