Before all this, Amazon had a P/E of something like 80, so it already was existing in a sort of magical bubble. Patient investors waiting for them to gain sufficient market power to really start collecting rents. I'd rather not do business with a company that treats its workers the way that Amazon does.

Well say goodbye to Instacart from Whole Foods... Probably another smart purchase... now they just need to monetize more than just from AWS
