Amazon isn’t anywhere near being a monopoly. They’re big, but they aren’t 80% of anything, they aren’t even 50% of most things.

All the signs point in that direction.

I am taking a break to eat, etc., but this post deserves a prompt reply...

Most unengaged people who vote are blissfully unaware of 80% of what they should know to contribute to a meaningful discussion, including the following...

I am sure I did not imagine it, but at one point in the last 20 years, Amazon sold and delivered, in a huge truck-mounted crate an automobile.

At my age, my memory is not what it used to be, so I can't (for the sake of completeness) remember or add just what make and model automobile it was...

Care to repeat your contribution to the thread?

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.
