Goldman Sachs says it’s projecting electricity demand to rise approximately 2.4% from 2022 to 2030, with data centers representing the largest growth segment at 0.9 percentage points—nearly a third of total new demand.
The Move to Put Medical Marijuana on the 2020 Ballot; Crypto Update
I'm not surprised that Amazon Restaurants went out of business. I tried to use it many times but it was so buggy, I was never able to successfully place a single order. I finally gave up and went back to #Grubhub. I even called Amazon but they couldn't figure out the problem. Very surprising for #Amazon. $AMZN $GRUB

I don't understand what people see in #ROKU? Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the only thing the company does is make products that are just like the Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Google Chromecast and a dozen other similar products?

3 Reasons Why Amazon Bears Are Wrong
Arguments well put. I'm with you on $AMZN.
What Amazon Said, What Amazon Meant
This article hits the nail on the head. The whole "contest" was a lot to do about nothing. Just a marketing gimmick to get Amazon in the news and to get the "REAL" contenders to up their offerings by making them think there was more competition than there really was. $AMZN
Amazon, and America’s Real Divide
This is a fascinating article on #Amazon. But isn't possible you are reading too into this decision? Perhaps those cities simply made the best offer and provided the most perks in the form of tax breaks, etc. $AMZN
Ebay Sues Amazon Claiming Illegal And Unethical Activity
Unethical... sure. But illegal? How is it illegal that #Amazon exploited some weaknesses in the #eBay system? Violating a website's terms of use is grounds for being suspended or kicked off that site, but you can't go to jail for it. How can eBay claim this is illegal behavior? $AMZN $EBAY

Wellness Tech: The Evolution Of Apple Health
Yet #Amazon is the one that has made the foray into #pharma. Seems like it might have made more sense for #Apple to do that or for Amazon to have made health more of a central focus of its tech. $AAPL $AMZN
Don’t Buy Walmart
Thank you for this insight into being a seller on Walmart, as this was an area I was not familiar. But I can tell you that as a customer, Walmart is ages behind Amazon and other competitors.
Why can I get an item from Amazon in 1 to days, but on Walmart.com it can take a week or more? Why if I want to do an instore pickup, do they waste time and money to ship the item my local Walmart, when I know for a fact it's in the store already? That makes no sense.
Compare this with BestBuy. I place an order online. Within 30 minutes I'm told I can go pick it up. In under 3 minutes I am in and out of the store. I placed a similar order at Walmart. It took a week to arrive (even though it was also sold in store). Then it took an hour and half to pick it up. Why? There was no one manning the pick up counter. Even after having customer service announce over the PA system for someone multuple times, no one showed up. When someone finally did, the person didn't know how to process it. When someone finally arrived who could, they went to the warehouse for a very very long time. When I asked why, she said they had to manually scan with her eyes for my name on every box till she found it. That there was no rhyme or reason to how it was scanned. When the item was finally handed to me, the box was badly damaged as was the item inside.
This is anything but efficient! Bullish on $AMZN and $BBY, Bearish on $WMT.
