Ukuba uMatt Colvin ebeneebhotile ezili-17,700 zetyinisi yezandla, istash sakhe besinokuthetha malunga ne- $ 40,000 kwingeniso-yeAmazon.Ifoto ngu-Samuel Corum / Getty Izithombe Umsindo awujoliswanga ngokulula kwi-pathogen-ubuncinci ayonelisi nakubani na-kwaye onke amabali afuna isikhohlakali, ke kulula ukubona ukuba kutheni uninzi lwe-angst yaseMelika ngaphezulu kwenoveli ye-coronavirus yawa ngokuthe ngcembe kuMat Colvin.
Ezi ziindaba ezimnandi zokuncedisana naye, okwangoku ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukwazile ukuphuncuka kwanoluvo nje loxanduva.
Indoda yaseTennessee, i-36, yaba yipariah yesizwe kwimpelaveki emva kwe INew York Times ixelwe ukuba yena nomninawa wakhe babehleli kwisitokhwe seebhotile ezili-18,000 zezinto zokucoca izandla ezingenakufumaneka-kunye neefemasks, ukucoca i-wipe kunye nezinye izinto ezixabisekileyo ngesiquphe ezazibanjiswe ngethemba lokufumana inzuzo enkulu ngokuthengisa iimpahla kwi-Intanethi.
Kwaye malunga nosuku, uColvin wenza imali ephambeneyo, njengoko waxelelayo Amaxesha , Ukubhabha iibhotile ze Purell ukuya kuthi ga kwi-70 yeedola lilinye, ngaphambi kokuba iAmazon ifake uluhlu lwayo kunye namawaka abanye bezama ukungxama okufanayo.
Ngeentsuku ukusukela , UColvin ube sisongelo sokusongelwa ngokubulawa, ukufowunelwa ngokungathandabuzekiyo kunye nokundwendwela kwamntu omnye kumntu onomsindo kakhulu kuluntu. Uphantsi kophando yi-ofisi yegqwetha jikelele laseTennessee yokuhlawulisa amaxabiso, anokuthi ajongane nezityholo zolwaphulo-mthetho.
Kwaye uninzi lwezinto zakhe zokucoca izandla zinikelwe phantsi kweliso elibukhali labasemagunyeni kunye noluntu, ukusukela oko wanqunyanyiswa kuzo zombini i-eBay kunye neAmazon, kwiindawo zentengiso apho wayeziphilisa njengomthengisi we-Intanethi kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo.
Ekuzithetheleleni kwakhe, uColvin uxela ukuba ukuzuza iimpahla kunye nokuthengisa ezo zinto kwi-intanethi ngenzuzo-indlela efanayo esetyenzisiweyo ngexesha lengxakeko yangoku-yindlela aziphilisa ngayo kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo ngaphandle kokukhutshwa.
Ukwabanga ukuba emva kokusebenza kwakhe, iifizi zeAmazon, kunye ne- $ 10 yokuthumela ngenqanawa, umda wakhe wenzuzo kwi-Purell eyi- $ 2, ephinde yathengiswa nge-20 yeedola, ayisiyongxaki kangako. Kungenxa yokuba indibize i- $ 2 evenkileni ayithethi ukuba ayizukundibiza i-16 yeedola ukuyokufika emnyango wakho, uxelele iThe Times.
Amagama amabini ukuza kuthi ga ngoku abaleke ukujongwa ngokubalulekileyo: iAmazon, kunye nemirhumo. Umthengisi wenza uluhlu lwezinto zikaColvin ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, kodwa hayi ngaphambi kokuba yena nabanye abaninzi bakwazi ukuzidwelisa kwasekuqaleni. Kwaye ngokwamkelwa nguColvin, ukuqhuba iU-Haul kufutshane neendawo zasemaphandleni zaseKentucky nokucoca zonke iivenkile zokugqibela zedola kunye noWal-Mart wesandla sabo sokuhambisa iisanitizer (intengiselwano abo barhwebi babebonakala bonwabile ukuyizalisekisa) yayikukunyuka kuphela.
Ukungena kwakhe okokuqala kwintlekele ye-mercantilism kwasekuqaleni kukaFebruwari, xa waqokelela iipakethe zobhubhane ezingama-2 000 kwinkampani yokuphelisa indawo . Wayengenangxaki ngokuthengisa ezo ngeniso enkulu-kwaye wasebenzisa iqonga leAmazon ukwenza njalo.
Ngamanye amagama, umthengisi we-intanethi omkhulu kwihlabathi wayebonakala elungile noColvin kunye neqela labasebenzi elingafanelekanga labanye abasebenzisa iqonga lokufumana inzuzo, de kwaba akunjalo.
Kwaye nangona kungacacanga ncam ukuba yimalini imali ephetshwe yiAmazon ngentengiselwano nganye — inkampani ayiphendulanga kwangoko kwisicelo sokufaka izimvo ethunyelwe nge-imeyile ngoMvulo- okanye apho loo mali iye yaya kungena kwingxowa enkulu engenangqondo yenkampani, iAmazon yenza imali (ngaphambi kokuphelisa umthombo wengeniso kaColvin kwizithembiso eziza kuba yintlekele yezoqoqosho kunye nengxaki yezempilo yoluntu).
Nokuba yayiyintoni na, yayingeyonto: ngokwendlela yemirhumo epapashwe kwiwebhusayithi yeAmazon, Imirhumo yokuzalisekiswa kwezinto ezincinci, ubungakanani be-sanitizer yesandla, isusela kwi- $ 2.50 kwesiphelo esisezantsi ukuya kwi- $ 3.48 nangaphezulu. Ukuba ebeneebhotile ezili-17,700, istash sikaColvin besinokuthetha malunga ne- $ 40,000 kwingeniso-yeAmazon.
Ngelixa uColvin nabanye bengekho shishini, urhwebo olukwi-Intanethi kwi-sanitizer yezandla kunye neemveliso ezinxulumene noko ziyaqhubeka. Abantu basenokufumana isicoci sezandla esinexabiso elifanelekileyo kwiAmazon, kodwa kufuneka balungiselele ukuba nomonde kakhulu. Ipakethi ezintlanu zeebhotile ze-ounce ezimbini ze-BYNNIX, umzekelo , ngekhe ifike de kube lixesha phakathi kuka-Epreli 6 no-Epreli 27.
Kwaye iminikelo ayichukumisi ncam ekuthengweni koluntu. Oku akubhalwanga e-U.S. Kuthengiswa e-US. Akufanele kudweliswe apha, Umsebenzisi uLarissa ubhale malunga ne-Wenasi Disposable Hand Sanitizer Gel ($ 8.14, ukuhanjiswa simahla, umhla oqikelelweyo wokuhanjiswa kwe-Epreli 6-Epreli 27).
Iimveliso zePurell, kwelinye icala, zikhutshwa ngaphandle kwesitokhwe, kodwa hayi ngokupheleleyo. Ukusukela ngorhatya lwangoMvulo, ongxowankulu abathile abarhwebayo babethengisa ngeAmazon a isetyenzisiwe Purell kwisixhobo esikumgangatho ophezulu Ngexabiso eliphantsi le- $ 200 -Sanitizer ayifakwanga.
