I too am curios about the down voting, but this site is sometimes so polarized, or stifling with political correctness it's nauseating. Jeff Bezos can do no wrong in this market place; that is where we have a somewhat growing marketplace for certain professions. Professions that provide a livable wage, with a few dollars left over after rent in order to spend on Amazon. Besides Jeff's vanity projects(newspaper, drones, I don't fell like doing a bunch of research)--his business model has one glaring flaw. He needs cheap gas. There is good reason why have huge trucks that move a large amount of goods from one location to a more convenient location. Don't get me wrong I like Amazon. I am surprised he hasen't bought up some of the dirt cheap commercial Realestate and put in Amazon retail outlets. Outlets that just provide a place where customers could pick up their packages. Hell--he could automate them, and they could be open 27/7?

There is a saying "ask 10 doctors or lawyers get 10 opinions". Well this is my opinion based on 35 years of business experience and having graduated from an Ivy business school as well. And reading, operating and observing business from before most HN readers were born. In other words not just reading blogs or online comments or whatever. It's a pattern that I've seen. Having seen bullshit of different types previously. Sure I could be wrong "ask 10 doctors" but I do have a basis for my thoughts. Edit: Because of course being in business and making a profit for 35 years means nothing to the younger generation on HN.
