this is monopolistic behavior. I think a yearly billion dollar inflation adjusted fine sounds about right.

Amazon is garbage. The majority of goods on amazon are trash too. Everything about it is shitty unless you think it's neat that a guy drives a truck clear across your town because you can't be bothered. And those people are trash too.

Amazon needed some good old fashioned trust busting years ago. It’s long overdue. Now, because they’ve waited so long, it’s unlikely prices will ever be able to go down to what they should be without Amazon’s interference.

FTC has been asleep at the switch for over two decades now. https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui...

Wow this is despicable. I'm glad the California attorney general is investigating this.
