I saw the news article about it, not yet the "sign up to get your $7" website.

I allowed my prime account to lapse last month, over the video-commercial-shenanigans. I had paid a year in advance.
I was going to consider any deals they wanted to make if I came back..... I haven't seen anything yet.
Jeff Bezos has a shitty, 4th rate space program anyway, and I'm glad I am no longer supporting it.

I don't think they bother with deals.
I have a vague memory that many years ago my wife and I would switch who had Prime to get deals (like 1-3 extra months on 12 months, etc), but then they stopped doing it.

MANY years ago they had a veteran's day sale.

T'would be nice if you could filter amazon to show you no products made in China. Very simple to do, from a programming standpoint.
Three reasons I can think of why not:
1. Bezos doesn't want to lose Chinese money, for doing business with China.
2. Trickery. Produced in China, but the company will simply ship it elsewhere and say it was made there. Or just lie about shipping and say "No, this entire boat just came in from china but my stuff wasn't made there."
3. I had a third one but I forgot.
But mostly #1.

More and more manufacturing jobs are leaving China as they outsource them to nations where it's cheaper to produce goods.
Where have we heard this story before?
So yeah, "Made in China" already might not mean that anymore.

Fucking AWS...
I flew today to Charlotte for my once or twice a year Richburg trip. My flight was scheduled to land at 12:30, but didn't until 2:30 thanks to the outage. Then I had to stand in line for an hour waiting for a rental car because the outage still had all their systems down. Plus, my Mercedes was cancelled (again, thanks AWS!) and the dude could only give me a Nissan Sentra.

Woke up in Vegas to news of the outage. Flying back today. Fortunately, we are flying Southwest, and they still use stone tablets and chisels for IT. Flight was delayed 1 hour, but probably air traffic control issues
