Yep. Amazon has been a godsend. What? That's right...I see a whole lot of complaining about them and some of it may be legit but I don't see it.

I've been a member since 1998 when it was strictly into books. Bezos was genius in expanding Amazon to what it is today.

Amazon provides a platform for hundreds of small retail businesses to sell their products as well. You know, that thing known as 'Capitalism'?

Additionally, Amazon also has an endless list of charities/organizations to which you can have donations made when you purchase anything. The list includes many conservative organizations: i.e. NRA, Pro-life, Tunnel to Towers, Wounded Warrior, Hillsdale college etc. etc.

So...I'm not going to slam them as some others seem so intent on doing. Service is key and they are top-notch.

“I’m not going to slam them as some others seem so intent on doing. Service is key and they are top-notch.”

You’re right. Amazon’s success isn’t an accident for most products they provide some combinatin of more choice, lower prices, and greater convenience than any of their competitors.

My concern is that Amazon’s growth is relentless. It consistenly is expanding by about 20% per year as it eats more and more of our economy. Where does this process stop?

The mention of delivery drivers having more stops and shorter routes in the article is an interesting one. It shows how greater sales bring greater efficiency.
