That drone means more starving people (because its one less human job to do). But one less hungry person, because .. pizza!
Cognitive overload, must shut down ..

I've never understood why progress should be sacrificed because 'someone loses a job.'
Idealistically, this indicates a problem with society - that people have to keep toiling away at automatable jobs for the sake of earning enough to live on.
Practically, this is going to happen at some point sooner or later once it becomes commercially profitable to do so and enough players are in the market.
Some of the greatest inventions have come out of the most meaningless original intentions. To play devil's advocate, maybe using drones for food delivery could eventually lead to finer-grained drone control - surgeries might very well be drone-assisted in the future!
Also, the folks who lose their jobs inevitably feel that the automated/offshored/whatever replacement for their artisanal skills and loving care just doesn't deliver as good an end result, and so it's one more sign of the world going to hell in a handcart as everything races to the bottom.
How did a luddite ended up on a tech forum anyway? Did someone fixed the irony device? He could've at least waited to read this news from the good old newspaper to support his local economy.
Although, in this case: it probably means one more RC-drone controller and not much else.
