But Bezos literally controls THE ENTIRETY OF ONLINE COMMERCE and destroys companies and small businesses with a simple mouse click.

Literally DESTROYS COMMERCE with a simple mouse click.

He is the Ultimate Evil Capitalist; the JD Rockefeller of our generation.

Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.

From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.

It sucks, but it's the truth.

They are dominating because they are good at those things...which means that there is no reason to be destroying small businesses with mouse clicks. It's a coward's game and an extreme psychopathy.
