Greetings from Seattle. Thank you for supporting our local economy and helping us launch the Bezos into space.

That was a wild ride. I like to think that Amazon rose to relevance primarily because of their user review system. So often I'd be in a physical store and still look up the Amazon reviews of a product because I trusted those random people of the internet to be more honest about the product than anything else I could find on the web. The rest of the stuff Amazon does to make money was just logistics.

With this level of astroturfing we'll have to re-evaluate.

If we really need a scare, consider what may happen when Starbucks gets around to implementing Phase III of their operation.
