"Of the eleven Amazon.com executives, eight are Jews. This is a numerical representation of 73%. Of the nine Amazon.com directors, six are Jews or have Jewish spouses. This is a numerical representation of 67%. Jews are approximately 2% of the U.S. population.* Therefore Jews are over-represented among the Amazon.com executives by a factor of 36.5 times(3,650 percent) and over-represented among the Amazon.com directors by a factor of 33.5 times(3,350 percent)."

Oh come on... Amazon does everything in the best interest for it's employees.

They get to walk for 14 miles per shift

They get instructions with a beeper every 20 seconds like if it where dogs

They get a lunch break of 25 minutes

They get minimum pay so they don't get hypnothised by the consumerisme that is evil

And they get to do overtime as the computer thinks it should

I'm wondering how long it will be until someone tries one of these for target practice. Sure sounds like fun. 

I would schedule a drone delivery the same day I am shooting clays, that gives me a good enuff excuse.

The terrorist groups dream come true. Their waiting for Amazon to set them up.

Jeff Bozo gets the drones approved, 10's of Amazon drones are stolen and modified by some group. 

Political leaders from around the world gather at a media event, hords of Amazon drones come in flying low and explode above participants and cause death or injury.

Amazon could indeed make history.

Jeff Bozo's bonehead idea tried to use the Chinese idea for cakes. Already being done for cake delivery in China. 

The delivery trucks are already packages and going through the neigborhoods with FedEx and UPS.

Just another way to bump up the stock price.

This is what happens when the government makes a moron a billionaire.

 Bezos says the drones are limited to a five pound payload, but says that 76% of Amazon deliveries are under 5lbs. That doesn't compute for me. I would say more than half the products on Amazon weigh more than 5lbs when shipped. Sure memory cards and other small items are under that weight, but those aren't exactly the kind of products Amazon needs to sell to equal their claimed revenue. Besides, if your package is under 5lbs UPS charges you the same shipping as a 5lb package. That also must mean most people only buy one item at a time on Amazon instead of buying bulk.

I can see that psychopath Bezos doing this because he believes it will save money shipping everything under 5lbs by drone instead of using UPS.

I hope the first family whose dog gets killed by one of these things sues Bezos for $1 billion.
