Why Amazon wants to buy Whole Foods

1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

   Thanks and God bless!

2. Excellent

3. Jayce, where did you get your clip on mic? TIA

4. Next up Amazon buying out Walmart

5. I don't want anyone to sell me anything, escape from this prison planet thru a secret portal to get away from these corporate government food poisoners who are trying to take over the world and eliminate most of the jobs along with the people. I just bought tainted ginger from whole foods that made me very sick.

6. I don't think I'll bother going there, also a lot of people may have the need to speak to a worker at least

7. domain.com is missing

8. I have never bought anything on Amazon because there isn't Amazon in my country

9. RFID on your food, your chip says what you can have according to your control meter. Sheep will eat and resistance to the mark of the beast will not. Grow your own food and stop GMO Holocaust. Whole Foods is no different than other grocers and buy from China too.

10. Whole Foods is so full of themselves. Can't stand that store.

11. JAYCE!

12. WFM is a ripoff anyway. WFM has just as many GMO's as Kroger or anywhere else.
    Grow Your Own!

13. This is not a good thing. Bezos is good with books, music, and gadgets. But the reason Whole Foods has the clientele they do is because those who shop there actually care about they eat. The founders of Whole Foods were hardcore believers in avoiding the AgroChemical company grown "food" which was bathed in chemicals to increase yield for more profit. Therefore the charter for Whole Foods was a vision of food purity and quality out of the gate. This attracted a clientele that allowed Whole Foods to expand from Store #1 in Austin across the country. But the recession eliminated the people who had just enough money to shop there and since then, Whole Foods has been struggling since the recession because they expanded into some markets that were decimated by the recession. Those stores are losing money for them.

    Now, we have a guy whose vision is automation, gadgetry, and profit. When has THIS vision worked out well for any industry driven by QUALITY and SAFETY? The answer is NEVER. What you will see is erosion of the principles that made Whole Foods appealing. But that is EXACTLY where Bezos will go. Why? To turn out a profit. And seizing the moment, the enemies of human health (e.g. Monsanto) will come up with new labeling laws and other slight of hand to make it appear nothing has changed under the surface with "healthy double speak". This, while no longer buying from REAL organic farmers who already just barely make it. Why? If not to drive them out of business outright, then because their produce will seen as "too expensive". But don't look at that, LOOK OVER HERE!!! Don't we got some cool drones.

    And after scandalous headlines bemoaning how you are now buying "crap", Whole Foods will be shunned and then sold off. A sucked out husk of a once proud company that aspired to the highest principles in the food industry. As if Chemtrails, Fukashim radiation, GMOs, and fake food (e.g. faux shrimp made out of hog anus…I kid you not) were not bad enough, now one of the last bastions of giving consumers the choice to "just say no" to the most of the crap passed off as food…will be history. So you will be getting "porked" in your mouth via fake foods made out of God knows what, and bent over and porked by the global elite, who are always pushing for centralization and control. Amazon was on the ropes UNTL THEY GOT A LOAN FROM THE GLOBALISTS (via CIA). They own Bezos. This is not just one more domino in their quest for global domination, it is a BIG domino because when you lose your health…they have you right where they want you.

    Next up…supplement stores. Back to "One A Day" as your only choice as a supplement. I mean nobody profits from a healthy population…..

14. trader joe's might have been better $

15. Well done

16. I need to go in person.

17. Great video its worrying how large all these companies are becoming Google Apple Amazon etc the power they can exercise, However I think It won't be very hard for the Walmarts Target Publix Tesco Sainsbury etc to start using the same or better technology and at the end of the day it will be convenience and price that ultimately determines success. Wholefoods is most definitely not the cheapest will that change?

18. Great coverage

19. buy n large?

20. Why is this on Android Authority?

21. whole foods was only worth 13b? wtf

22. Have I bought groceries online before, yes through peapod. For non perishable items it does work out very good. But if you are a person who buys alot of fruits and veggies it is better to go to the actual store to buy those. And once this deal is final and amazon officially takes over whole foods. The very first thing I hope they do is start to slash the costs of things in the stores or I will still not go to a whole foods.

23. In my world Whole Foods is called Whole Paycheck. Love the quality but can't afford to shop there very much.

24. Boooo

25. No mention of the CIA?

26. Does that mean that you won't be able to buy stuff from Whole Foods on Google Express now?

27. Do they sell weed?

28. I'm not happy about this. Whole Foods has serious anti-science standpoints.

29. Amazon can't sell me firearms

30. Whole foods has great soups🙄 But whole foods can't touch H-E-B here in texas

31. I don't see any problem buying packaged food….  But meat/cheese/veg/fruit…   I want to SEE before I buy.

32. The future will be all Amazon, Alphabet, Apple…. AAAA 😛
    I live in a country where Amazon is nowhere as big as it is in most countries, and it's almost like some alternative reality from the news I read… xD
    In Brazil, Amazon never got beyond books and eBooks, amazingly enough. It's no wonder… even for a company as big as it is, it's no easy feature to navigate through brazilian bureaucracy, overall corruption, and the import taxation laws. The company has been promissing to get more goods to Brazil since it first opened… I think some 5 years ago already now. But with the country's economy in shambles with government corruption scandals being a weekly reveal occurance, I don't think it's happening anytime soon.

    But I did buy groceries online before. Big supermarket chains started offering the service around 8 years ago. I had just moved in to my current city, didn't have a car, lived in the 6th floor of an apartment building, and had a packed schedule between University and internship… it was a heaven sent. Worked well at first. Delivery prices were low or free if you spent a certain ammount, and it was just awesome to get everything on my door step with me being able to do a proper planning of meals without spending on superfluous crap. I can control myself better when I'm online shopping versus going into stores, judge me. If I'm honest, the people on the market were probably far better on selecting good fresh fruits and vegetables than myself. Yep, I'd often buy those, and I'd often receive very well picked stuff – and that was true for the 4+ different markets I tried using the online shopping service. 😛

    Problem is, as with several types of services…. it didn't scale up well. When it was a relatively unknown thing most people didn't use, it worked fine. As soon as more people started using it… prices for delivery skyrocketed, most markets could not maintain a website that was accurate regarding their own stock (I'd get calls on the day of delivery saying how several items I purchased weren't actually available), delivery hours got restricted and pricing schemes for faster delivery sneaked their way in. The overall costumer service also tanked. The feeling it passed from calls and contacts was that the supermarkets had no dedicated people for the job, the staff was stressed, overworked, and doing stuff they didn't have the competence for, and they couldn't deal with demand.

    Ultimately, I moved to another apartment (same city though), brought my car from my hometown, and gave up on the whole idea since now I have several markets few blocks away. Not worth paying delivery fees, delivery service can't go past the gate of my apartment building anyways (security reasons), and I can't be bothered going through the entire process of carefully selecting stuff only to receive a call saying products are not actually available.

    I do miss the careful planning part though. And I think that even though this purchase from Amazon can have very negative sides to it for the overall market and competition, I think lots of people will benefit from the whole deal. It's just hugely convenient to have the monthly necessities, specially items that never change, ready to be purchased and delivered with a few clicks instead of having to drag your feet to a store. And then, if you like to select different stuff that's not on the list, you can go to the store without worries about the rest.

33. lasers and guns not on amazon

34. this will all be part of the mark of the beast, with out the mark you will not be able to by food

35. If Amazon's service can be as good as Tesco's and ASDA in the UK they will have a winner. It's so awesome to shop online in the morning. Have it delivered in the day. And make dinner in the evening.

36. WOW 😁😁

37. Online grocery shopping is huge in the UK, all the major supermarkets have be selling everything online for many years. Amazon in the UK have hooked up with Morrisons to allow you to shop and receive delivery within an hour( I think it is currently only a trial in London and Hertforshire), but that is not for fresh foods. All the others sell fresh foods too, you simply go online and place and order, then choose your delivery timeslot. Very good service.

38. is daddy Jayce losing weight?

39. Who remembers the whole foods episode on south park? Lol.

40. yes, we buy food items online including fresh veggies from local (Indian) players like big basket and grofers.
    But for us, no whole food and so no Amazon whole food either. :-).
