"that pillar of American identity: a well-paying job."

In America, we are what we do.

I heard the argument so many times that people need a job because without work, our self worth is nothing. That is an insane mindset. How about the concept you have self worth simply because you exist and you inherently are worthy?

As for Amazon, they are kicking ass. At some point the regulators will step in but it will be too late. It is hard to prove what they are going to accuse Amazon of because there are options out there. For example, Whole Foods is the 4th largest supermarket in the country with only a 4% market share...the largest grocery store, WalMart.

Thank you for sharing this story. It is something to consider when making purchases. We all need to do all we can to get away from the monopolies that are erected. That is why I support the blockchain all I can. Companies/services that show up certainly are worthy of a try. We need to wrestle back control all we can.
