People are still fling to buy shit. Maybe they have to do it locally instead? Probably some other company would step up to replace their monopoly. It's only be an improvement.

So we should just make almost 2 million Americans unemployed because some execs shredded some papers. I don't know if you know anything about retail work, but they pay less than Amazon does, very few actually pay over $15 an hour, Walmart starts you out at $12 an hour.

If Amazon were broken up it'd create more jobs. Sure, they may pay less, but Amazon has centralized a lot of work to increase efficiency.

We shouldn't break them up just because they shredded some papers. There are many more reasons than that.
