I thought Amazon was having trouble keeping up with rush 2-day shipping, so was trying to back it off. They tried building a new warehouse in Seattle, but they couldn't because they ran out of cranes--as in, there are no more cranes in the United States with which Amazon could build a warehouse. They have to wait before they can build new warehouses to satisfy all of this

They've been shifting a lot of home goods and groceries from 2-day Prime shipping over to Amazon Prime Pantry which has a per-box charge to ship and they meter your purchases as you fill up the box. I suspect this is because groceries are pretty low-margin and heavy.

The product has flaws and limitations, so he's taking it as a personal attack.
The whole corporate shareholder myth is bullshit [truthonthemarket.com], too.
