Amazon Slammed for Destroying As-New and Returned Goods (fortune.com)

Amazon is destroying "massive amounts" of as-new and returned items, raising the ire of the German government and environmental campaigners, local media reported. Fortune: The types of items being destroyed here go way beyond the "health and personal care" products that Amazon has long been destroying when people return them, for sanitary reasons. We're talking things like washing machines, smartphones and furniture. The revelation drew an angry response from the German government and environmental campaigners. "This is a huge scandal," Jochen Flasbarth from the German environment ministry told WirtschaftsWoche. "We are consuming these resources despite all the problems in the world. This approach is not in step with our times." Greenpeace's Kirsten Brodde said there was a need for a new "law on banning the waste and destruction of first-hand and usable goods."

And if Trump fails to negotiate peace with NK will you finally agree to impeach him? Or will you provide some lame excuse.

Impeach for what?

He's a blowhard. But that is not an impeachable offense.

Oh, you mean the "nothing burger" that CNN and others are still trying to ram down people's throats. Yeah. Keep waiting for Godot.

And even if he was anti-semitic, racist, xenophobic and homophobic those are not an impeachable offenses.
