### Comment:
Did the author even bother to do basic research before writing this article? Yeah I'm sure that AWS, a 25bil/yr business, is somehow subsidizing consumers for the 123bil/yr retail business that *existed before AWS ever did*. Also apparently Uber is the first IPO for an intractable business model, while they mentioned the Lyft IPO literally sentences before. 
  
 Fucking clowns.

### REPLY:
Revenue isn't profit. AWS is profitable, Amazon.com is not. Margins in retail are thin, so subsidizing losses in the retail portion of the business would be doable with AWS.
