And several cases are yet unsettled. Article bleeds bias.

It’s odd that democrats would ever argue in favor of big tech’s entrenched power. Our tech companies comprise >40% of the S&P. They are working on forming a one party state as we speak.

With regards to corporate interests over those of the population we've had a one party system since about the 60's.

The government is slow and littered with constant gridlock.

Meanwhile any of the major pharmaceutical companies can force all of the major media companies to lie however they want at gunpoint. Corporations have already won the information war.

Ideally consumers would be smart enough to stop using amazon like me, or vote accordingly.

Anti trust legislation against them maybe? Or at least against the biggest ones to stop the biggest affronts to set an example.

What specifically would change in the tax code that would force Amazon to report a profit and pay taxes?
