Oh yeah. To be clear, I'm not an Amazon hater and have no interest in the lawsuit either way.
I do think that since Jeff left, Amazon is settling down into being a regular ol' company and some of their shine is coming off. But that's neither here nor there.
I just started replying to your posts to refute (my understanding) of your earlier post #20. FTC doesn't have to wait for customers to abandon a business before they step in. If customers abandoning ship worked, there wouldn't be anything for the FTC to do.

My point is that any kind of "reckoning" that people seem to hope is in store for Amazon is not going to come from legislation or litigation.

I agree. But I don't mind government coming in to slap hands that are getting too greedy, even if it won't reform our society overnight.

It's going to have to come from customers putting their money where their so-called ideals lie. Which in my opinion, means it ain't coming. Because again: customers are by and large as self-serving as the businesses they accuse of being the same.

I think the reckoning for Amazon will come when some faster, more nimble competitor starts eating their lunch. Walmart used to be the big, bad bully on the block. Then Amazon came along.
