What is your basis on that opinion? Amazon seems like one of the least vertically integrated monopolies (though I agree they need to be curtailed).

  I think what they are correctly pointing out is that this administration does not take a rational approach to, well, anything, so it doesn't matter what the facts are regarding Amazon's actual practices. It's just a grudge.

  The current administration transparently considers "the stock market" to be their primary gauge of success. Going after any of the top 5 companies in the S&P500 is going to negatively impact the stock market. Ergo, I also doubt we will see any anti-trust activity originating from this administration. But this conversation is a bit irrelevant since the current administration probably has less than four months left in office, which is not enough time to put anything together. I don't expect a settlement from anyone either, so we are looking at several years worth of investigations and subsequent lawsuits, appeals, etc.

  Least vertically integrated? They have their own ecomerse platform, running on their own compute, selling products they brand and manufacture, complete with warehouses and a delivery fleet
