Bezos is being philosophical.
He’s not saying Amazon is failing now. He’s saying, eventually, all businesses fail—just as all nations eventually fail (including the USA).
IMHO, the biggest threat to Amazon at the moment are Chinese counterfeit products. When Amazon opened the door to independent sellers, it opened Pandora’s box. Amazon has been flooded by cheap, Chinese knockoffs and outright fake products.
I think twice about buying anything from Amazon anymore, because I can’t be sure the product is genuine.
Nike withdrew all its products from Amazon, because there were so many counterfeit Nike products. Yet, are still Nike products all over Amazon. How many of those products are fakes? I’d venture most of them are, considering Nike doesn’t sell on Amazon.
And what is Amazon doing about it? It seems nothing.
Eventually this is going to catch up with them.
“Bezos is being philosophical.

Seriesly? He’s a CEO, not a farmer or a college professor. And if he can’t comprehend that his words and deeds have real-world consequences, he has no business wandering through the business world like a babe in the woods. Lock him up!
