And so the shot goes on

Amazon will be one of the few companies that comes out of this better off. Because they are delivery only and everything that happens is out of public sight or not their problem Amazon will continue to grow, destroying any form of competition.

They may be cheap now, they may have good delivery etc but once everyone is conditioned to using them and competition has been ruthlessly obliterated because they simply cannot afford all the tax mitigation and other scams that they do, we will all suffer.

Amazon are no better than the Victorian mill owners, paying workers a pittance whilst milking the system for everything possible. It just happens to be on a bigger scale and the general public's quest for "cheap" and bugger the consequences is providing an increasing revenue stream.
