“In what reads like an Arrested Development joke, a pet project of company founder and CEO Jeff Bezos to hand out free bananas to Seattle residents became so big earlier this year that it, only somewhat humorously, was called out for disrupting the local produce market.”
There’s a banana stand outside my building. There’s no reason to buy them if you live near an Amazon building. People literally take a whole bunch of them at a time.

Detroit had an unfortunate demographic shift.
Which started once the business tax was implemented and people started leaving.
But many city have business taxes like NYC, SF, etc. right?
