Starting with such a broad category like ecommerce is ridiculously disingenuous to begin with. Amazon's not selling things like cars or niche products like trading card singles, so it's not competing in those areas. Ecommerce also generally includes both B2B and B2C and last I checked Amazon is only doing the latter. Yes, you can do a better job than my quick back of the envelope calculation. Heres one from a few years ago which accounts for more of these things and... also comes out to 6%: https://www.ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2019/12/amazons-market-share19 As that piece mentions, yeah, you might consider Amazon to be approaching a monopoly in a few areas if you narrow things down to like books. But thats not what these bills are addressing at all. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:954899040] in Politics C...
