This thread seems to have devolved into a political debate between left-leaning French and other Europeans and right-leaning Americans. It would be so much easier to follow if people would specify their country in their info so we could quickly see where they were "coming from", instead of having to infer it from their comments.
As to the matter at hand, the OP clearly indicated that this was a duly-elected *Socialist* government in France. So presumably French voters and citizens are now getting what they wanted. I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable with it, but that's OK; I'm not French. Their country, their rules.
I don't believe Amazon or any other company has a god-given right to dominate in every country in the world. OTOH, if French consumers don't mind paying extra in the pursuit of some social goals, well, it's their money. Think of it as a tax on ..... nostalgia, perhaps?
