The Amazon Issue

[jaF0]

Rather than clutter the other thread, I can see Amazon being broken into three, maybe four distinct companies:

Retail and Web sales This would include their local delivery services.

AWS which is all of the data management and web hosting. Some or all of this may end up under the FCC.

Delivery and Transportation; all of their interstate and long haul services (cargo planes and truck fleets), even if they only carry their own product. This would be under DOT and FAA as applicable.

Then I can see their R&D and space programs being under a separate umbrella.


One more might be their financial and payment processing services which really should be under banking regulation, same as all payment processors such as PayPal.

amazon
become a monopoly?

I read your post, considered replying to it, but thought to myself "Eh, I'll do it later." Then I logged on to Twitter and the first thing in my feed is an ad for an Amazon AWS service.

The creep factor of modern day Internet is real.

I think the purchase of Ring and continued expansion of doing there own delivery is leading towards Amazon offering to leave packages inside your home. I believe I read Ring was working on “smart” door lock. Combine that with video doorbell and they will just pop your stuff inside and be on the way...

 

[jaF0]

^^ Yeah, fuck that.

I've all but stopped buying from them.

When they buy Target we're on the way to that Demolition man future...all retail will be amazon

Oh good Lord yes they are.

Just leave Amazon to Donald, he will put a tariff on it.

 

[Captainnumnuts]

Aren't they building their own city?

 

[Captainnumnuts]

Nothing new there.


I've heard their warehouse work conditions are deplorable (no pun intended).

Amazon is worth more than several states. Bezos could buy the Commerce Department with pocket change. Amazon is an irresistible force; Trump is not an immovable object. And Bezos has a hotter wife. I would not bet on an Amazon breakup.

Trump owns it. It replaced Facebook.

Well shit...how did I use the wrong their there?? Sorry

There there that will be okay they're going to figure theirselves out. They always do, there is a way there.
