Amazon is the perfect example of capitalism metasticizing and killing society.

It is good for companies to innovate, reduce costs, etc.

It is terrible for those companies to then become so powerful they can control legislation and crush any further competition for all perpetuity.

Capitalism is fantastic, until you realize that without strong regulation, companies will simply squeeze everything beneath them in the name of profit.

I worked in logistics and supply chain for over a decade. Let me tell you, you know shit is broken when all you see is fealty to the largest companies.

Small business pays 2000 for a container? Walmart is paying 200. Why? Because Walmart brings in so much business that any shipping company would drown a million bags of kittens just to get a slice, so they in turn quote low, and squeeze anyone they have power over (suppliers, staff)

It's a sick game, and it's killing us.
