      I doubt one would notice most of the time. It doesn't rain here much. It sprinkles for months at a time. We don't carry umbrellas. Most days, looking out the window, its hard to tell if its raining or not. The drops aren't big enough so you have to look at the tops of parked cars or see if any drops are hitting the puddles. But its not like back east where you get thunder and lightening, heavy downpours with hail and the like. Its more like a never ending opening to Bambi - din din din little April showers....but even that would be a heavy rain:)

      They were losing money for almost 20 years, so tax credit. Similarly to you, if you losing money for small business, you can get tax credit for future years. Also here in Canada, the minimum wage for Amazon employees is 19/hour, that's good(if people's feels exploited they would quit like a normal person) and I know, driving throughout the city and walking to a front door must be life threatening. The reason why Amazons prices is so cheap is because they spend so much more money making it cheap(to remove competition) to a point that sometimes they wont even reach their profitable point.

      In the case of Amazon's I think it is prudent to keep both eyes open. John D Rocker feller man had a monopoly of oil industry, he set a strong foundation for oil refining standards. Which benefitted mankind immensly
      At the same time, he was causing plenty of busniess and workers to go out of work to stamp out competition. How many careers and livilhood have he stamped out?

A public school not being able to run it's AC when it needs to is, in some way, a result of the greed of Amazon.

      Well birth rates continue to fall, so the population is expected to never break 12 billion. Also, it truly seems like vertical farming / factory farming of plants has the potential to provide organic foods for a fraction of the resources, and land usage. It won't come soon, it will probably take 50 - 100 years, but it is believed that we will be able to provide all of the world's food with somewhere between 5-10% of the land we use today. If that is coupled with only the 50% estimated increase in total population, there should be a lot of land that opens up for more parks and forests in the future. Humanity right now is just at an incredibly tough transitory period...think of it as the awkward and painful puberty of humanity.
