Amazon owns too much shit. They should be broken up into 5-6 different companies
While I agree that Amazon owns too much (politicians should be on the map as well), breaking up is not necessarily a good idea. Remember Ma Bell and the Baby Bells?
The Bells should have been nationalized as all utilities should be, most of what amazon does is not things we need to nationalize (imo)
I strongly disagree. If we don’t nationalize IMDB then how can we possibly have any trust in the integrity and honesty of movie reviews?
Everyone should be entitled to have access to accurate movie ratings.
Damn, I didn’t know they owned IMDB too. I love this Cool Guides community!
“everyone” here meaning, what, 2-3 other megacorps?
fuck Amazon, sure, but in Amazon vs Google we lose either way.
