(181,602 posts)I read the letter and even the author acknowledges that under traditional anti-trust concepts there are no anti-trust concerns. http://www.ufcw.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/61/files/2017/07/Lttr-to-DOJ-FTC-Re-Amazon-Whole-Foods-072017.pdf The letter wants the FTC to come up with new concepts to fit the situation going forward. The FTC and the DOJ have to enforce the law as written.
If you want to change the law to address Amazon, then GOTV and help us take back congress. Making vague claims about anti-trust issues that may occur in the future.
I Amjured (got the high grade) in antitrust a long time ago. Current anti-trust concepts do not apply to what Amazon is doing and a court would throw out a challenge based on the Fudge letter without a change in the statutory framework that governs anti-trust law
