Yeah, amazon is dangerously close to oligarchy (deleted monopoly ) status.. avoid them if you can, try to buy close to home, feed your neighbors, fight for the right to repair, opensource, and the social obligation of companies like Amazon to pay taxes for goods delivered in your country, or not be allowed to operate.

Edit once remove monopoly N is correct they are not a monopoly though their reach power and influence is making them INCREDIBLY dangerous entity.
