Jeff Bezos is an asshole shitlib, but Amazon got huge by delivering product with speed and providing customer service. There's no government program forcing people to buy from Amazon. Almost twenty years in and competitors still can't figure out that Amazon's success is their customer service. You can buy that cheap Chinese junk secure in the knowledge that if it sucks Amazon will pick it up from your front porch and refund you for the trouble. Until a competitor matches that service they're never going to beat Amazon.
Wealth is not a zero sum game. My earning money isn't taking away from your ability to earn money. Wealth is generated, not transferred around. Jeff Bezos is a piece of shit, but he is not making those children homeless. This is a typical shitlib mentality.

I agree with much of what you have stated here... Many small businesses were forced to close during the plandemic while Amazon was deemed essential and the playing field further tilted to eating small businesses lunch... important distinctions needed to understand major difference to shitlib mentality... when it is missed yet again in error small business shrinks yet again
I agree, but there's a fine line between helping small business and kneecapping big business. Society cannot advance if we make it our work to narrow the gap between the successful and the less-successful by dragging the successful down. We can't kneecap successful big business to help small business. It won't even help small business and it will retard our economic output. The only proper thing is to make sure that the government isn't doing anything to tilt the playing field one way or the other, then let the market sort it out.
