This reads a lot like a PR piece for Amazon, with most "answers" promoting Amazon nearly like a press release and very little negative points.

A few sentences that stand out:

> If you have a ton of data in your data center and you want to move it to AWS but you don't want to send it over the internet, we’ll send an eighteen-wheeler to you filled with hard drives, plug it into your data center with a fiber optic cable, and then drive it across the country to us after loading it up with your data.

> Q: I know there have been a number of collective actions among Amazon warehouse workers around the issue of safety during the pandemic. > A: (a series of measures implemented at Amazon)

> Internally, people say, “Oh, we’re probably better than our competitions, or other warehousing and logistics companies.”

> Q: Has Ring brought Amazon into much closer relationships with law enforcement? > A: it would really surprise me if any of those relationships were the result of the Ring acquisition [...] I think Amazon also kind of backed into that situation. We only realized after the fact that we had all this data about who was coming to people’s front doors.
