*Summary:* There is a lesson to be found in Seattle's summer tale especially for small cities like Newark with deep social problems and a strong desire to woo big businesses. Choose wisely. Your social problems, including but not limited homelessness, will worsen after "Amazons" come and few of them are willing to help cure those problems in any meaningful way.
