This is my third week at home with the family.  If I tell my wife we are boycotting Amazon, she will boycott Chupacabra.

You mean Jay-Z and Beyonce on the island... they just bought about 360 acres for only $3million. I think Geffens and Gates are on their yachts. Pretty sure Gates' is actually submersible as well.Turns out Gates might not have bought that one.. the internet lied! First time for everything.

It is less a matter of hierarchy and more a matter of incentives.  Supply and demand.

If you’re an Amazon customer, here’s how you can practice real social distancing: stop clicking the “Buy now” button. Go to the grocery store instead. You might be saving some lives.
