      1. @ddayen has a useful reminder of how Amazon, the beneficiary of all sorts of government largess, deserves no sympathyhttps://newrepublic.com/article/147740/no-sympathy-amazon …

      2. What I'd add is that while Amazon needs to be reined in, Trump is the wrong man to do it & is doing it in the worst possible way.

      3. Corporate leviathans like Amazon need to be subdued to the rule of law, by introducing new regulations or using anti-trust laws, not made subordinate to one leaders personal whims.

          The political vacuum exists precisely because Americans accept the nonsense that a 2 party #WinnerTakeAll system provides a reasonable form of democracy for a diverse population. It's not. With #ProportionalRepresentation political vacuums are filled.

          Nothing Trump does is about reigning in Amazon's worst practices. So there is no dilemma. Trump is acting like a despot. Fight against it. Sometimes the despot targets some1 you don't like. Fight against it. He's still a despot.
