  • Amazon is a poster child for the massive concentration of ownership across every sector of our economy - a monopoly that fills the pockets of shareholders and forces Americans to pay outrageous prices.
    Here's Chair Lina Khan on the FTC’s lawsuit against this Big Tech monopoly.

      Amazon was a tiny book seller until they did a better job and offered better prices than their competitors. That is how businesses grow larger legally.
      These two Talking Heads cannot point to one law that Amazon has broken.

    I bought a craft kit from Amazon. After listening here I decided in the future I would buy from the sellers website. Found out she doesn’t sell on Amazon. Turns out her logo and name, with the exception of the word “the” in the title was being used by a seller on Amazon. Same exact logo ! How is it that Amazon, with its technology and marketing team, couldn’t pick up on this fraud?…Maybe because they aren’t interested in fraud since they do it themselves….
