Especially since I read this article about commingling (you need to register (free) to read): https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2019/03/20/1553085361000/Amazon--sub-Prime-/ https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2019/03/20/1553085361000/Amazon-...
They are now dangerously close to be a monopoly AND a monopsony in way too many markets.
They just don't need to care anymore and it shows.
- ahmedalsudani 8y agoGreat read. Thank you for sharing.
- fukbezos 8y agoI quit Amazon when it started looking like Alibaba. I've actually saved tons of money shopping local and on eBay. Plus I'm not paying their $100 fee. Amazon is really bad for the US economy. More so than Walmart
- ikeboy 8y agoHe clearly doesn't understand what he's writing about - his example is Apple Earpods, where Amazon is the only seller due to an exclusive contract between Amazon and Apple, and there's no commingling at all going on.
