“The population density, the amount of life out on the street really blew me away,” said Glick. “Especially as it was winter, in January. (I saw) all kinds of businesses, there were people out, living their lives, interacting in this fantastic way.”

“Nobody?completely?trusts Amazon. There is a degree of social isolation it suffers in the corporate landscape. Customers, suppliers, affiliates, partners — everybody has learned to be on their guard when dealing with Amazon. Nobody ever enters a relationship with Amazon with wholehearted enthusiasm. Only with a certain reluctance. You deal with Amazon mostly because you have to, not because you want to.?This lack of relationship capital may start to matter one day.?But today is not that day. Today we succumb. Today we welcome our Amazonian Overlords.”
