I Iove Amazon. They have everything and will often deliver the same day, plus delivery is free with Prime membership, More important, they hire people on the spectrum and train them. They hired my impaired and depressed 49 year old s son who hadn’t worked in 25 years and turned him into a happy and productive member of society. I applaud Bezos and his company and don’t give a rat’s ass about his or anyone else’s politics! Paul
