Part of that is because they are not government subsidized.

I do not sell on Amazon and my shipping prices are higher because of it. If you pay the danegeld to Amazon you can sell at a lower price.

ONE side of the same coin.

Thanks for the correction!

Is Amazon receiving government subsidies? I did not know that.

Yes, it's been tough for other businesses to compete with Amazon which is becoming a monopoly.

On their shipping, yes.

I don’t believe in book censorship so as Jew, I don’t want these blatantly anti-Semitic, anti-black books banned from sale. Nuts will get them somewhere.

So if Amazon can sell the works of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky (a self-hating Jew) and Al Sharpton, then they can sell the works of their equivalents on the other side of the political spectrum (though they all are the same when you examine their hatreds).

If Bezos is so big on space exploration, let’s coin a new phrase for him “In Space, Nobody Cares What You Read, So Let’s Do the Same on Earth”.

I see what you mean... Checking further, I see news articles about that. It’s like Amazon is calling the shots everywhere, even with the USPS.

It’s understandable that smaller businesses sometimes must charge more. They have to, in order to cover their higher costs. Good luck with your business.
