  Key issue: > “Amazon is charging tens of thousands of hard-working Ward 7 and 8 residents for an expedited delivery service it promises but does not provide. While Amazon has every right to make operational changes, it cannot covertly decide that a dollar in one ZIP code is worth less than a dollar in another,”

  Red-zoning for real estate (as evidenced in both Baltimore and DC) are drastically different than avoiding warzones for delivery. Also, only USPS can be made to deliver to warzones, and many commercial shippers (DHS, FedEx, UPS) use that route. Same for Amazon Prime, Ebay, and Walmart delivery to use USPS for “certain address”. Also there is a different “warzone” within DC (not covered by the article) where Feds preclear the packages of any hazardous materials. Meanwhile, Amazon should fess up and not provide Prime memberships to those zipcodes. source: - (Not in My Neighborhood: How Bigotry Shaped a Great American City, Antolia Pietila;)[https://www.amazon.com/Not-My-Neighborhood-Bigotry-American/dp/1566638437 https://www.amazon.com/Not-My-Neighborhood-Bigotry-American/...] - (APOGuide: USPS, Guide for AAFES Suppliers)[https://www.scribd.com/document/798340054/apoguide https://www.scribd.com/document/798340054/apoguide]
