Much like amazon did in the early days.

When the problem is incentive structures -- of profit seeking corporations or compensation seeking individuals -- what options do you have? (IMO its only regulatory enforcement with democratic oversight and transparenct.)

I think we as a society still have to figure out ways to restructure sprawling institutions and i dont like it when people only put the blame on public or private ones while ignoring the other.
