"Amazon is they can pick off every burgeoning new product category."

Or, how about the way you opened...

"This week I’ll be digging into the topic of whether Amazon’s private label businesses are"

No punctuation, no subject for that verb. WTAF?

Have you read/talked about Lina Khan's Antitrust Paradox paper? Very useful for understanding the position Amazon holds re:antitrust law

I’m trying to find the underlying evil here. Is it that Amazon is just really good at providing value to its customers and sellers?
