    He really should resign. If not, he should be impeached.

    It is impossible that he is unaware of the "harassing environment" component of virtually every sexual harassment policy in use. His denial about "inappropriate touching" can be completely correct and that still does not obviate his responsibility in allowing/inculcating such an environment.

    Perhaps he was taking the same New York Bar Association Continuing Education classes in ethics as former mayor Giuliani?

    It appears Amazon has over 200 million Prime subscribers, and has built a massive transportation fleet that now independently delivers almost all Amazon packages, to the point that Amazon has begun poaching non-Amazon parcels (presumably the highest-margin routes and types) from Fedex, UPS, and USPS.

    Seems like a worrisome degree of industrial integration... wait'll China duplicates the model toward a cybernetic command economy.

    Have they? It seems like 99% of my packages are still through USPS and UPS.

    Amazon has enough excess capacity to offer Multi-Channel Fulfillment and third-party transport. For example, and the likes of Ebay or Walmart deliveries being packaged in Amazon facilities or delivered through Amazon carriers is well-known.
