My comment is not about their lying. That's a different problem and not what my comment is about.

> Can you really not distinguish Amazon, it’s market position, and their acts from brick and mortar retailers that carry private label items?

Who do you think had the dominant market position before Amazon was a thing? Again, this play is older than Amazon itself.

My argument was just a rhetorical statement reflecting on the government's ineffectiveness and contradictory behavior when defining what harms customers or competition. It's only now they care, because it's only now that they seem to see the political benefits from pursuing what's a rampant decades-long behavior.

Believe me, my comment is not trying to defend Amazon, is simply trying to showcase how politicians are opportunistic demagogues.
