We are talking about Amazon here. Are you arguing antitrust regulation on Amazon because of what WaPo publishes?

Interesting take on free market capitalism. Lol.
Trump all about that ego, he’s looking to take down Bezos. Wonder when the 30% will wake up and decide he doesn’t give a frick about them.

I hate Bazos, but I respect him.
IMO Amazon in one of the most innovative companies in the world. Yes they benefited from a tax policy that was late to adapt but that isn't the only reason for their success.
It's not like they are Tesla.

A state tax policy, not federal.

From WaPo. Not to mention the president himself and several others.

You’re woefully ignorant if you believe this is about anything other than a grudge.

I like how people get up in arms about this crony capitalism, but many seem to support steel tariffs.

I don't think that's the issue. The issue is whether or not the Post Office is getting compensated for whatever the fair market value of that service is. My guess is that Trump sees that Amazon is getting a better deal than they should.

What would you call tariffs to protect the steel industry?

I'm a bit worried about the power these tech companies are amassing.
Bezos pays politicians, gets favorable regulations and direct deals with govt and squashes competition.
Bezos is what lefties used to hate about Walmart.

He’s executing a business model more efficiently than others. So now the OP decides its time to regulate the successful? What law is Amazon breaking. Damn...you Trumpers will definitely blindly follow what he says. Just like him promising Mexico would pay for the WAHL?!? Guess what...bait and switch suckers!
