Amazon: the plan to build the mother of all distribution systems by stealth?
How was Amazon able to run and run with no/marginal profits for more than a decade? What other company has ever been given that continuity of Wall St backing and with no change at the top?
Even though Amazon now reports profits, profit growth relative to scale (sales) is pitiful.
How many businesses have been destroyed by more than a decade of aggressive price warfare?
What would be the risk (personally and NatSec) if Amazon were the only way to buy certain essential goods? Food???
Monopolize all consumer spending? Who might want to restructure commerce along those lines?
Was this the plan all along?
