Looks to be the Staten Island distribution center. Hopefully other unionized Amazon workers strike as well.

Did not renew Amazon this year. They don't exist for us anymore. Convenience is not worth it.

Already done. They ship free over $35 anyway, and anything under that is probably not a significant enough savings to be worth it anyway. There wasn't much video that interested me, either - and there's always the high seas for the few things that did, which their behavior conveniently allows me to not feel guilty for.
