I've seen three different articles about this using SLAMS, BLASTS, and now RIPS. Not really the point and I think Amazon being kinda transparent is a good thing, it was just an observation I made about all the articles.

According to Amazon they aren't even planning on doing this, they just discussed it internally for their "Amazon Haul" customers, but rejected the plan. So they are getting blasted by the white house for someone having an idea that they decided not to act on... Fucking thought crime.

They are upset because it now gives other retailers the idea of doing so. I hope they do, but hope in this administration is a lost cause.

Not exactly a unique idea, I've seen similar ideas for a while now. And the only reason this is getting any publicity is because the white house actively brought attention to it, so this admin is Streisand effecting this hard.
