> So aside from “just stop buying from Amazon” what can we do ?

Lobby your congressperson to break up Amazon and all the other big tech companies. Prevent them from bundling, vertically integrating, and using loss leading products to make all competitors not competitive.

Make their delivery network its own company who takes orders from other suppliers. Make their storefront and warehouses its own entity. Make their media organization stand on its own. People smarter than me can figure this out.

Make policy that punishes national and international companies and favors local businesses, and keeps the taxbase local rather than in Delaware.

Ultimately there's little that one can do with this hyper concentrated economy other than push for and join the political wave against concentration.



I think that is to say that Safeway is not allowed to own warehouses, and neither is Walmart?

Also, apple isn't allowed to both make phones and software for phones?
