No the signs don’t point in that direction. Amazon has a ton of competition online. And their focus is horizontal expansion not vertical, so they generally aren’t growing individual market shares so they aren’t climbing towards 80%.
Shipping a car, or even a bunch of cars, doesn’t make them a monopoly.
Why repeat it, you quoted it, and it ain’t changing.
You completely missed my point.
My point is, that Amazon seems to be masters at identifying what works and what doesn't;* and have been so for 20 years.
Ask brick and mortar bookstores (the area Amazon "perfected") if Amazon is a monopoly.
I am a long time customer of Amazon and a Prime member. But I see a problem there I hope doesn't happen. There is more I need to post to clarify the argument, which may make things clearer.*
* If someone decided to deliver the Sears house shown later in the thread, they would clean up; I am surprised that Amazon has not thought of it... LOL
I am now 10 years retired, but my 45 year professional life in Engineering/architecture and Planning, as well as a homeowner tells me so.
