        I was mostly being facetious, I try not to use Amazon. My wife does off and on and has used a free trial 3-4 times a year.

        The trials are 30 days (in the US) and years ago, 4-5, I would just use a throwaway email and do a new trial every 30 days to keep Prime. Not sure if they guard against that at all now or not.

    If this isn’t a sign for Amazon workers that their contribution is undervalued even at their current compensation, I don’t know what is. For fucks sake, unionize and become millionaires!

    All the news today about them reminded me to cancel my prime membership. Thanks, Barbara Streisand!

    Almost all of it is AWS. Which has a what, a 30% margin? Your money at work.
