Great post and analysis Bust. I hope we get you and your wife back here.
One thing I found puzzling in Gilbert's enthusiasm for the Amazon bid was a "be careful what you wish for" quandary as his talent pool would likely have been raided by Amazon driving his costs up considerably.
Maybe he figured selling them office space and the consequent rise in value of his immense real estate portfolio would compensate for the sure-to-rise labor costs.
He had a bad week as along with the Amazon snub he also went to court to answer charges of selling junk loans back in the housing bubble days.
