It doesn't take much thinking to conclude that there is something messed up with resource/capital allocation in this economy Well, yes. The government forbids people from using local businesses and forces them on pain of terrible retaliation to buy from online services, and Jeff Bezos is very good at running those. That is a messed up allocation of resources but it's not Bezos' fault the government made so many of his competitors illegal to use.
