You know, I would support a law that requires everything on Amazon basic to be entirely vertically integrated in the country that it is being sold in. For example, consumer batteries, where everything is mined and manufactured in the specific country.

Because, if it is on Amazon basic, there is no new intellectual property protecting it, so it should be a commodity that is completely optimized. Companies need to move on and make better things, protect them with IP, and then Amazon can’t just copy it and make it a basic object.

For the small fry then, the answer is IP.
