Breakdown

Is it time to break up Amazon.com?

I have no problem with this, but Amazonโ€™s revenue is in the $170 billion range.

By contrast, Walmartโ€™s is $500 billion. Walmart is, then, about three times the size of Amazon.

Additionally, Walmart is far more of an oligopsonist than Amazon, treats its workers just as poorly if not worse, and is used by far more people.

Breaking up Walmart would do far more good for the country and the world, as would making every effort to reduce media consolidation or preventing the destruction of the US Postal Service.

But people jump on whatโ€™s trendy and novel, not what makes sense.
