I am more surprised that people aren't calling for breaking up Amazon.
- SQueeeeeL 4y agoThere are quite a number, but our primary mechanism for sharing ideas and information are incredibly pro-conglomerate (most large media organizations are the result of decades of mergers). Those in power heavily studied the anti-trust actions of the early 1900s and worked to prevent them from happening again and threatening their bottom line. Quite ingenious if you ask me, that's why you see dozens of people in this very thread touting why a mega corp buying a medical provider is actually a good thing.
- ch4s3 4y agoWhy would anyone? They aren't the biggest player in eCommerce, cloud computing, grocery, or warehousing. As a customer I'm usually quite happy with the service they provide. I recently bought some heavy items from them that would have cost more than $300 in shipping from the manufacturer, but Amazon delivered the items for free as I am a prime member. Whole Foods has been a fantastic value since Amazon took over and high quality produce is much cheaper than it was prior. I'm not here to say Bezos walks on water, but as far as big companies go, Amazon is probably the best to interact with as a customer.
