Last year, we reported on Amazon’s proposal to automate and replace our country’s aging Midnight Meat Train system. Their system has only rolled out in a few test cities so far and it has had somewhat of a tempered reaction so far. Amazon has yet to report a profit on the venture but they have talked up the efficiency of their system and the independent contractor income it has generated for local residents. However, one of the biggest markets, Chicago has already made clear that they would prefer a system that works on top of their existing infrastructure instead of replacing the Midnight Meat Trains entirely with drones.
Well, if Microsoft’s investors have their way, their may be a new competitor in the market. At last week’s earning call, Steve Gunderson, one of Microsoft’s biggest investors, took the opportunity to ask management if they had any plans to offer a “Midnight Meat Train solution.” Whilst the question appeared to take management by surprise, several other investors jumped on board and encouraged Microsoft to pursue this emerging opportunity. A smaller investor, Spehn Gonzalez summed up the general consensus on the call.
I’m not especially familiar with what purpose a Midnight Meat Train serves but, if Amazon is doing it, it is probably worth pursuing.
Spehn Gonzalez, Investor
We will have to see how Microsoft reacting to this new idea put forward by investors.
