I clearly see a path forward where competition will work.

I truly see an horrible path if government starts to put its big fingers everywhere and start causing all kinds of secondary market effects. When you look in hitory, it ALWAYS ends up being worse.

Nobody speaks about Walmart only sellers, that don't want to work with Amazon (as they are crazy with sellers).

Nobody speaks about Ebay sellers, nobody speaks about shopify only sellers. Nobody speaks about LOCAL sellers.

Those are all competitors than Amazon has no control over it.

Yes Amazon has a large distribution network, and competitor are starting to catch up from what I can see.

But anyway, what can I do other than expressing my disagreement ? I very well know we are going towards a gov intervention. I can only laugh in my corner, alone...

Source? It worked out well for the browser wars. It worked when it blocked (several) telco merger(s). And many more.

And that's just anticompetitive protections. What about the FDA and OSHA putting its fingers into the food industry so there aren't literal fingers in my food?
