  1. It’s too good to be true!
  2. Even though Amazon put out of business every book store I loved…I forgot what I was going to say.
  3. Traffic is really not that bad in LA. Especially if I get a delivery around rush hour and I have to take the 405. Or any other road, really.
  4. Amazon Prime has some great shows, like Stranger Things, no wait that’s Netflix.
  5. It’s so much easier to find parking at the mall now that Jeff Bezos killed retail.
  6. The Washington Post is a good liberal — no wait is it the Washington Times? I can’t ever remember.
  7. Jeff Bezos has really nice biceps now. His personal trainer must be awesome.
  8. I used to get paid 15 an hour for nightmare shifts at one of his sweatshop I mean warehouses so this is most definitely an improvement.
  9. I only needed to put down $10,000 to get started (thanks Mom), and have $30,000 liquid cash on hand (thanks Visa cash advance).
  10. That drone delivery thing will probably put all of us out of business in a few years but whatever.
  11. On three hundred thousand a year I can almost afford to live in LA.
  12. Running my own business I can set my own hours (12–15 hrs. per day minimum), and be my own boss and hire a crew of low paid drivers, wait, this is starting to sound like Uber? Am I Travis?
  13. I asked Alexa and she agreed that starting an Amazon Delivery Company was the best idea ever.
  14. Maybe one day Amazon will buy my company out for a billion dollars. Isn’t that what companies are selling for these days?
  15. This is just a stepping stone for me. What I really want to do is direct a space tourism enterprise.
