Amazon has patent for "Anticipatory shipping" a system that predicts for future purchases based on previous buys, site searches and how long you linger on a particular item. Then they ship the item to the warehouse nearest you before/in case you want it. Woman: You shouldn't have! But you knew you should. Which you shouldn't have. Why didn't you know that?

Obama can’t pass any laws. He’s not a legislature.
As for lingering, Amazon must be shipping tons of porn babes, lolcatz, and doges. I’d like to see the warehouses these days.

Going a step further there, Obama signed into law one that does exactly that and when it looked like a problem for him he unilaterally and illegally changed the conditions of the contract to keep from being the one held responsible for making an illegal social contract with the people he is supposedly serving..The man-boy who would be king…
