GREED: Reader Hank Bradley writes: “Today the Seattle Times launches the first of four feature articles, attacking Amazon for insufficient charitable donations by the corporation in its hometown. One of the leads: ‘Despite sales of $1,500 per second, Amazon gives little to charity’. Someone sorely wishes to dip a beak in that income stream.”

Of course they do. Though they’re probably just following the example of Joe Biden. Meanwhile, a note to the Amazon folks: If you’re feeling unappreciated in Seattle, I’m sure Tennessee would welcome a headquarters relocation. . . .

UPDATE: Reader Scott Cosman writes: “It is really amazing how bad the Seattle Times has become. Except for outstanding high school sports coverage, they offer little. This article was basically a listing of people/groups that feel they deserve some Amazon money. The article was sad and an embarrassment.”
