Amazon is coming to NYC and Crystal City, VA per WaPo

https://www.washingtonpost.com/regional/

The headline is a bit misleading because Amazon hasn’t confirmed it yet. WaPo is relying on an anonymous source.

There's something like 132 boxes you have to build, tape, fill with packing material, generate the shipping labels, find the merch (which could be a hundred yards away), fill the boxes, and tape them closed in one hour. Like a Libertarian sweatshop, there is a display showing the progress of your coworkers, so you can see how you are performing compared to them... pitting one against another.
