If Blue Origin fucks up this way somebody could die.

The saga of Chocolate covered cherries from the heart of Washingto State (where Amazon is headquartered after all) and a suspended account in China - where the two are wholly unconnected except in the "mind" of Amazon algorithms. 

A horror story of bigness gone amok, and Bezos on a rocket vacation from the Amazon fuck-up of the century. Of the month? Of what actual frequency, we may wonder.

Business negligence is where algorithms supplant good ol' common sense. People have the latter skill, but where algorithms rule and people aplenty do a song and dance handoff to the automation rather than listening and fixing what's broke is - - - A story Jeff should take to heart.

It took an inquiry by a statewide newspaper to blast the idiots off the dime.

It is inexcusable negligence and should be corrected, before rocketry hobby stuff allows further "Amazon partner" related negligence. Or before deficient algorithms cause some kind of rocketry disaster.

Big and best are not per se hand-in-hand. Or maybe they are, for SpaceX.
