They don't force people or companies to sell through them, they don't fix prices, they don't force people to buy on their website or buy their Prime membership. Exactly HOW are they a competition suppressing Trust?

Capitalism can be a brutal place, sometime the person with the best idea and best executed idea simply smash everyone else. Just the way it works, but history has shown that it blows socialism away.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
