The mayor of Paris this week issued a stern warning to Amazon over its express delivery service, raising concerns over its impact on local businesses and criticizing the US company for informing authorities "only a few days" before it launched. In a press release published Sunday, the office of Mayor Anne Hidalgo called on Amazon to guarantee that its Prime Now delivery service will not add to the city's pollution problems and that it will preserve the "diversity" of Paris' economy.

You may NOT! offer superior service and price. How will less competent people compete?
We must have a tariff....
“And another thing — we want all books to be reproduced by monks with quill pens! People need jobs, you know!”
These are the same people who argue FOR the efficiencies of the globalized EU.
I’m waiting for a book to be dropped on someone’s head. They’ll own Amazon after that.
If a Koran carrying Amazon drones crashes Paris will burn.
“I’m waiting for a book to be dropped on someone’s head. They’ll own Amazon after that.”
Hasn’t happened yet.
try to keep up, froggies.
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.
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.
Lol. Yup. You nailed it.
France never really liked the U.S. they were just a rival empire of Britain and were up to playing the U.S. against Britain. But the U.S. became a greater power than the French ever dreamed of becoming. Down deep inside they dislike Americans and anything American. We are rivals.
Also, europe and the EU hate real capitalism and embrace socialism.
McDonald’s is American and capitalist. Two things to hate.
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.
Isn’t that the tiny food you eat before dinner?
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?
