Nothing lasts forever. But I like Amazon’s chances. There’s not a competitor on the horizon that can match Jeff Bezos’ empire. He built a ferocious velociraptor that can only be beaten by antitrust regulations. Twenty years ago, Amazon was an online bookseller. Now, they rake in more than 50% of all digital sales.

Where do you stand on working remotely? No office, no pants, no problem…right? Working solo may be fine for researchers, editors and accountants. But that isolation is not for everybody. Experts predict that 40% of workers may never return to an office. And that’s bad news for those who thrive in an energized workplace. Zoom …
