Did they take the bait?
Oh well, moar evidence!
We have the post office. Why is the post office not providing exactly the same services as Amazon?
…Because the post office is owned by the people.
That's all fine.
My point was (after cleaning up the post office), it has far more infrastructure than Amazon and could easily put Amazon to shame, without taking a margin.
It could also destroy eBay and all other similar sites.
I see it as a first step toward a resource/fulfillment database by the people, for the people. In other words, maximize the internet.
