When the social order temporarily breaks down in a time of mass social crisis one of the first things we eventually notice is that the supporting characters that furnish the background noise that fill our lives mysteriously disappear. Perhaps there is an economic reason and perhaps it is well known to the properly educated but I don't know the explanation.

If your groceries are going to be chosen unseen at the store and delivered by a faceless amazon delivery driver to your porch while his vehicle blocks  half the road in front of your house for your neighbors why shouldn't he be a robot or intelligent machine?
