Amazon was built on innovation, why should it compromise now?

Yeah because Topeka, Oklahoma City, and Huntington were all big on Amazons radar. I think people were talking about Chicago, St Louis, and Detroit, but nice job injecting your strongly held political views.
Also, I went to a rural Arkansas school and I never once was taught creationism. Maybe the boogieman is more in your head than real.
