Except (supposedly anyway) the courts look not just at if they can offer savings but what it does to for the consumer in regards to overall competition within that market. Take the sprint/TMobile merger. That’s been fought for years over claims it would reduce competition within that market. If amazon shows a history of entering a market and running others in that market out of business then yeah they might face push back (then again when you’re the richest man alive......). I’m also not sure how keen the government would be (assuming the politicians aren’t bought and paid for 🤣🤣🤣. I know. Hard to say with a straight face) to have one company controlling massive sections of multiple industries. I believe Bezos has said before that he expects at some point the government to break amazon up.
