he new local fulfillment center.

I’m not going to die of heatstroke in central Florida humidity and temperatures to work there. I don’t
care how much they pay. I have a teenage daughter to be around for.

The fact he was president of DE Shaw at 30 is impressive in itself.

I actually saw that first interview with Jeff Bezos when Amazon first found some success as an online
bookseller. It stuck with me because he actually after giving the rate of growth of the internet he says
the internet use was growing at a faster rate than any product in human history. Faster than the
telephone and I think he gave other examples.

I also recall that he said he picked books only because they were not perishable and therefore you can
keep them in a warehouse unsold indefinitely. You could buy unsold books super cheap and without a
storefront sell them cheap. On the highstreet, space was a premium.

It's so strange to see the interview here again for the first time since it first aired and I had no idea back
then the internet would change the world completely. It's actually weird to have lived through it and
look back on life before it.

I used to have certain sellers that I would use only for certain items from Amazon. I never got into the
prime business of them and I don't everything from Amazon. Alexa is recording everything happening in
people's homes and/or offices for the good and the bad. Amazon is getting extremely spooky and creepy
into our lives!

He started an online store during the birth of the internet.

That's why he's rich

To a huge extent unreasonable customer expectations and demands fuels the demanding working
environments that these people work under. Its sad but true.
