a slightly more challenging paragraph from the article: "Supply chain capitalism principles—reliance on outsourced labor, an emphasis on just-in-time delivery, faith in data-driven decision-making, pursuit of economies of scale—have played, at times, an under-appreciated role in the emergence of digitally-enabled inequities that COVID-19 will also likely exacerbate. The languages of supply chain management and software engineering tend to overlap and borrow from one another (lean operations, just-in-time delivery, containerization); arguably many of the operations underlying surveillance capitalism can’t happen without supply chain capitalism. Admiration of supply chain management has also been used to justify data-driven disruptions of industries and aspects of public life. For me, the most visceral example of this link remains the 2009 Police Chief magazine essay entitled “Predictive Policing: What Can We Learn from Wal-Mart and Amazon about Fighting Crime in a Recession?”, one of the earliest articles written by and for the law enforcement community about the now much-disputed technology. While other examples aren’t quite so blunt, the rhetoric of efficiency and emphasis on outsourcing and data collection can be found in other sectors. What is the gig economy, if not a just-in-time supply chain for disposable human labor?"supply
