Filmed partly in the High School that I attended. Their training room was my gym room (the door he exits was fake). Our wrestling coach was the advisor and played as the opponent’s coach, years later still receiving royalties for $0.25 and such.

Amazon cut more than 1,800 engineers in record layoffs, despite saying it needs to innovate faster
Nearly 40% of the roughly 4,700 positions Amazon eliminated across Washington, New York, New Jersey and California were engineering jobs.

I do. Sounds fun.
