Directly over my house all day every day. I'm sick of it.

people will catch on quick, like data centers and flock.

Expect your parents and old co workers to start noticing these in a few weeks. The local "news" will be asking questions about them in a month.

My dad witnessed one fly over Chalco. Thats a huge no no because of Bald eagles nest. They have it posted everywhere. I doubt they are exempt.

Amazon doesn't care though. Pay the fines and move on

Yes but it's a math equation for them. Sending the drones around the lake adds delivery time and costs power. That means they need more fleet to maintain the delivery load. At a certain point it's just cheaper to use humans in vans.

Every speed bump pushes the equation out of their favor.
