You may NOT! offer superior service and price. How will less competent people compete?

We must have a tariff....

I’m waiting for a book to be dropped on someone’s head. They’ll own Amazon after that.

There are a few restaurants in our little town that could use Amazon's services.

I need to take this idea to Shark Tank.

Uhhhhhhh. Anybody know how to make an app?

Also, can anyone explain to me what an app is?

“service will not add to the city’s pollution problems and that it will preserve the “diversity” of Paris’ economy.”

blah blah STFU. I dont like Amazon as Bezos is a leftard but being a capitalist, I’m all for it. If you cant compete, get out of the way.

Mayor Anne Hidalgo called on Amazon to guarantee that its Prime Now delivery service will not add to the city's pollution problems

Maybe she should worry more about this The French Muslims set 940 cars on fire to ring in 2015 Most of the car fires are in Paris.

I like Paris; I like Parisiens. But hard work isn’t exactly up their alley. When I have had hair dressing appts., I’ve brought a good book because I know I’ll sit for an entire hour in an empty salon while the girls chit chat before deciding to take up my services. And I’ve yet to see a rush hour.

Milton Freidman...

At one of our dinners, Milton recalled traveling to an Asian country in the 1960s and visiting a worksite where a new canal was being built. He was shocked to see that, instead of modern tractors and earth movers, the workers had shovels. He asked why there were so few machines. The government bureaucrat explained: “You don’t understand. This is a jobs program.” To which Milton replied: “Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it’s jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels.”

They are very good, but one item took 5 days and another is taking a month!! They offered me 6 bucks off pantry to let it take that long instead of the two days.

It IS PRIME.

Any ideas what that is all about?

Ce forfait est de deux mois de retard !

Vous aurait dû demander notre service express.

Et puis je l’obtenir plus tôt ?

No que j’exprimerais simplement à quel point je regrette que votre dossier est tardif.

“a law that went into effect in 2014 banned Amazon and other online retailers from offering free shipping on discounted books. (In response, Amazon began offering a €0.01 shipping charge on discounted titles)”

The mayor should be glad it wasn’t Amazon Primate.
