What struck the most was this chart in the article: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13608056/amazon.png https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/13608056/a... No wonder Bezos wants to be close to DC, the government loves Amazon.... and Amazon could even figure out how to support other highly valued institutions on those charts. For example, AWS and cloud contracts for the military and police; Amazon Student and Amazon Smile for colleges and non-profits. Amazon can figure out so many ways to intertwine its roots into people's lives, that is has a higher confidence than many branches of government. That's pretty insane of a feat to pull off. Is there any new precedent for deciding the separation of corporate and state? What's also a bit baffling is that Amazon has managed to separate themselves from being lumped in with other "big corporate" Major Companies or tech companies (Google, Facebook) that are lower confidence institutions despite seemingly fitting both profiles.
