A striking measure of Amazon’s monopoly power is the vast stream of cash that it extracts from the businesses that have to rely on its site.

In a new report, we find that Amazon is pocketing a 34% cut of sellers’ revenue — up from 19% in 2014. 1/

This would be upsetting if it wasn't so long-coming.

The integration is tactical as technically complicating potential anti-trust measures - and an immense digital landgrab. That it unilaterally makes sweeping change, and extorts consent like an autocrat, is de rigeuer.

This article describes community buying networks in China, where neighbors pool together to make bulk purchases on produce, groceries, etc. Trying to think of examples of this in the U.S. https://t.co/W8f0fAL1Wd

The economy was deeply unequal before the pandemic and it's even more unequal now. What letter of the alphabet is that.

"The real message of this election is not that Trump lost and Democrats triumphed. It’s that a weak and untalented politician lost, while the rest of his party has completely entrenched its power over every other branch of government." https://t.co/ftO4FGQyDl

"Records show the three largest incentive packages Amazon received — totaling $512 million — all came from predominantly Black suburbs. By contrast, the company built warehouses in at least seven mostly white communities that reported offering no public incentives at all."
