I applied to be an official amazon influencer. That means I create a list of things on Amazon that I like or that I think other people will dig. It's mostly music and books but it has things to do with burritos, beer, single malts, cigars, beards, essential oils, health related doodads. It's a good place to look for something to listen to because I've cut of a lot of the fat, see. And I'll cut you too if you look at me wrong, see. And if you like vinyl, I've found a few nice deals. I'm saving my pennies for a new record player since both my turntables were stolen. Here's the link. Now, where did I leave my hat? This shirt is cool. RP people: help out Manbird and share it around!

Texas has room, but Austin does NOT. The infrastructure is hopelessly outdated: the water/sewer systems date to the 30's. Property values have skyrocketed, along with rents and property taxes (Texas has no income tax). People are literally being taxed out of their homes: property taxes do not consider your ability to pay. Small businesses are moving away in droves: their rents have quadrupled and more.Traffic is rated among the top (bottom) ten worst in the country.
Amazon has the ability to create its own town. There is plenty of land in Texas, and not so far out of Austin (or Dallas) either.

I had a project that would have required a little work from them (about half of which they were doing already) , and some from my team. I figured the work load at about 2/3 for my team and 1/3 for their team. I was going to provide the tracking system and framework. The result would be a substantial energy savings and some good PR. I offered to give them 50% of the energy savings as a credit on their invoices. They said "great, but we want 100%, and you can't use this as PR". We went round and round, but in the end, their guy said "if there are savings to be had, we want all of it". I did the project without them and still got about 75% of the energy savings, so I came out ahead financially. But I was astonished how hard headed they were and so utterly unwilling to let us share in any part of the savings from a program that we identified and initiated.
politicians are the most opportunistic people ever i can't think of anyone even close (see #metoo debacle) want to hit a home run? get politically connected lobbying is the greatest roi in history

As a dad who just went through Christmas, I've noticed that for electronic gadgetry (especially the Nintendo stuff my son wants), Walmart usually has equal or lower prices. The majority of the sellers of that stuff on Amazon are independent privateers, much like on eBay.
