What the Hell is Wrong With Texas?

From the New York Times:

On Thursday morning, Amazon.com took another step in its effort to bring instant gratification to its customers, introducing a new “Local Express Delivery Option.” If an eligible item is ordered before 10 a.m. or 1 p.m. (depending on the city) Amazon will have it delivered on the same day. To start out, the e-commerce giant is rolling out the service in seven cities - New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, Baltimore, Las Vegas and Seattle. (With Chicago, Indianapolis and Phoenix to come soon).



Last time I checked, the fourth largest city in the U.S. was still in Texas, as is the seventh, ninth, 16th, 19th and 21st largest cities.

I get pretty damn tired of places like Baltimore (18th), Las Vegas (29th) and Indianapolis (12th) getting stuff, such as Pepsi Throwback, before cities in Texas. Companies act as if cities in Texas don't exist -or worse - that we don't matter.
