The article answers its own question. Amazon decides which neighborhoods get Prime Same Day service by the number of Prime subscribers in that neighborhood. Predominantly African-American neighborhoods have fewer Prime subscribers, so they don&#x27;t get Prime Same Day; presumably it would be even less profitable to serve those neighborhoods than it is to offer Prime Same Day to neighborhoods with high concentrations of Prime subscribers.<p>The article feels to me like a stretch. It isn&#x27;t up to Amazon to solve racial and income inequalities in the US. And, by all accounts, Prime Same Day isn&#x27;t a money-maker for Amazon. So the writers of this article are asking Amazon to lose even more money in an effort to offer same-day deliveries to underserved neighborhoods. It&#x27;s a valid ask, but I won&#x27;t be too outraged if Amazon continues on its present course.
