And good to use that space more efficiently - you don’t need to air-condition large atriums if it’s just for housing products

You do realize that people work in these warehouses, yes? It’s not all magic robots, it’s overworked, underpaid, insecure human beings.

Even ignoring the workers, I’d hope Amazon is climate controlling their warehouses simply for the sake that there are a lot of things for sale on the site that are sensitive to extremes of either heat or cold.
