Amazon's dictated to book publishers WHO they'll carry and at what price.
Amazon went after iTunes to carve more of the mp3 market and doom CD sales.
Amazon destroyed the book world with Kindle. Amazon kicked authors in the ass yet again by making sure that USED and REVIEW copies of books were prominently displayed with any search. Amazon set up their own download book company to create even more of a monopoly for themselves.
Amazon destroyed Barnes & Noble (among other bookstores) and then decided to open their own bookstore. They destroyed department stores and then decided to open their own warehouse stores. They announced plans to flood the skies with drones that could deliver their crap faster.
All this and more. So at this point, the media simply admits that Amazon is a job killer company, no different from Scientology being a rip-off religion. You can't beat 'em, so join 'em. Millennials are told that the BEST places to work include GOOGLE and AMAZON, where they can be put into compounds, fed, given perks like a gym to visit, and spend their lives never seeing sunlight and droning with ways to make more money for the billionaire owners. You work there either by being a tech whiz, or shoving products into boxes and shipping the shit out. And that's the way it is. The media knows Amazon is a job killer.
Why fight it? Just accept that the big Internet companies, run by worse billionaires than TRUMP, will do anything they please.
TRUMP has vowed to force Amazon to actually pay taxes, but he's bellowed a lot of things that aren't gonna happen. Jeff Bezos has proven that you don't need to be President when you're a dictator.
