Wow. And I’m guessing you call yourself a conservative.
Trump has done one good thing. He has made the feaxservatives stick their heads up.
Amazon is an amazing company that has done more for small business than any politician has ever done.
But I’m guessing you believe that everything you buy on amazon is from amazon?
Well you’re an idiot.

So did they change the definition of a monopoly in the past few days? Why hasn’t this thread died?

45-93, so only about a third of the people in this thread can see the tea leaves.

Well, this is bullshite. Amazon has wrecked more small businesses than any company that has ever existed. Just because some people are successful sellers on Amazon doesn't mean that Amazon is good for small business.

Now that the divorce is done, US Attorney for the Western District of Washington should bring antitrust action.

Antitrusts laws need to be updated for electronic commerce. Bezos and Amazon are currently too powerful and they’re growing. They’re opening a second HQ in Queens, where I grew up, and it’s gonna ruin the city economically. They won’t hire New Yorkers. They’ll probably hire cheap labor from abroad.

At the very least, he USPS should raise rates for Amazon. We are subsidizing that company.




I agree with the last part of your argument.

All that would do is push more investment into AMZL and ultimately off of USPS. Whether you think that's good for the USPS is a different story. Look at Amazon - UK and their relationship with the Royal Postal Service as a case study in what will happen.

No. They’ll hire New Yorkers but they will pay them well below a living wage and use our tax dollars to subsidize their employees in the form of food stamps.

The problem with Amazon/google is they expand in different categories and for the most part their monopoly creates a public benefit rather than harm, so it’s hard to really crack down on them

What’s the public good? Fake cheap goods that I subsidize with my tax dollars?
