@ebooksyearn @peter why is it that the FTC can't reign them in somehow? no power to levy *real* punishing fines?

@jeanniek @peter no political will. It's not like there are any rich people who DON'T own Amazon stock

Nah, they'll just drag it out in litigation hell until there's a Republican administration, and then it'll get summarily dropped.

@JessTheUnstill @ebooksyearn i sort of don't think we can just blame Republicans for this one. Silicon Valley has done an **excellent** job buying influence with Democrats. hell, Jay Carney is Amazon's head of policy.
