Amazon is like the Huawei of the US. Strong ties to the government, too big to fail, massive influence over the world. It's like the cancer of capitalism and the way it operates together with the US government is very similar to whatever we call China's model of state. No doubt they influence state decisions in very undemocratic ways. This has nothing to do with Freedom, and it's worrying that such different government models arrive at such similar modes of action. They foster centralized, undemocratic power that infringes on individual rights such a the right to privacy... Is it just he way humanity is destined to be ruled? By constant waves of power concentration followed by revolution?
