I heard the Amazon has acquired MGM studios.
When does the government stop this monopoly?
We have Amazon being a part of everything:
Online stores
Pharmacy
Groceries
Cloud computing
Prime entertainment
I am sure there is more that I don't know. Just like I started to fear the direction that crypto was taking, I fear the size of the big companies in the US. In places like Europe and Australia, they seem to have a better grasp of what big companies can do with the type of power, data and money they are accumulating per second.
The type of control that Amazon is building is getting to be obscene. If Bezos wanted to be the next president, doesn't anyone else stand a chance? With everything that Amazon controls, I think Bezos would want to experience unrestricted power next.
I have experienced some things since COVID broke out while i was working with a few non-profit organizations. I have less faith in people with power in general. I had so many similar experiences that my focus has shifted from understanding the specific situation to wanting to understand humans in general. I think giving anyone unlimited power is a bad idea.
I don't know how I went from hearing the news about Amazon owning MGM to Bezos having unlimited power but I fear what could happen if things continue the way they are. Everything can't be owned by a few rich people without consequences.

The most dangerous thing that will happen is The MGM roaring lion being replaced by a gif of

Also I want to point out your obession with things like presidency. You make it sound like Jeff would be more powerful if he were to become president when in fact he's more powerful because he isn't.
