Amazon’s Wish List with Stacy Mitchell | Why Is This Happening? – Ep 39 | MSNBC

What does Amazon want from us? For consumers, Amazon can be a frictionless gateway to find everything from bed frames to dog food, baby clothes to award winning original tv series. There’s nothing quite like it – a position they’re in not by accident but by design. Amazon became the behemoth we know it to be by targeting and absorbing any competition, leveraging favorable government treatment, and picking winners and losers in the marketplace. But there’s much more they’re doing behind the scenes, including deals they’ve made with the CIA, the Pentagon, and more. Stacy Mitchell joins us to tell us what's on the other side of the bargain we’ve made in exchange for convenience.

  1. Amazon is destroying small businesses just like Walmart destroyed small chain grocery stores. Especially the mom and pop stores. If I wanted to buy a hand saw instead of buying it from my local retail stores With Amazon is comes from a store a 1000 miles away. It’s crazy. Sounds like to me Bezos has a monopoly. What happened to the laws that prevented this. Oh Bezos lobbyist got congress to change it for them. Uh? Imagine that.
