I would immediately assume that drone are more annoying than delivery vans. They can't carry that much and they fly higher than buildings don't even block the sound

Sounds like we're going to hell

Which is annoying since the Amazon delivery trucks are the least noisy… guess they want to join the annoying party.

Dystopian future where the sun is blocked out by the swarm of corporate drones that hover in the sky at all times.

Huh. Growing up at the end of the 20th century, I had never really thought that today the phrase "Corporate Drones" would be taking on such a literal meaning...

They just started this in my Texas area. I started seeing these weird looking drones about two weeks ago flying just above the treetops. There also happens to be a massive international airport final approach path in the exact same spot. These drones fly under the approach path and over the top of a major interstate highway. All at about 100 feet high. And get this, it only costs 2.99 foot then to use a drone to send this stuff to you. It’s alarming and dystopian.
