Which is precisely my point. Amazon is forcing competitors out of business. And once they have a monopoly, history teaches us they will have no incentives left to keep their prices down, and introduce the very shitty prices you speak off. Hence: we’re not there _yet_
No it’s not. Your point was completely the opposite (factory towns had shitty prices due to exclusivity).
> Amazon is forcing competitors out of business. And once they have a monopoly
They are forcing little shitty stores that have nothing to add over ordering online out of business.
They aren’t anywhere near a monopoly in any segment of the world. They aren’t even on a path to it. It’s so trivial for people to sell things online that they will never be anything close to one unless they get online sales banned for the rest of the Internet.
