You can regulate these companies through the political process, but you do need to get involved...

What chance do you have of convincing consumers to use a less convenient more expensive alternative to Amazon, when you can barely convince them to vote in their own interest?

‘Barely convince’? When did that happen? I think it is fair to say Americans are flat out incapable of voting in their own best interest. It could be argued they don’t even have a chance to, but regardless, they by-and-large cannot identify that chance whether it exists or not.

Fair point...
