Even if this were true, why would it matter? If your wage is lower, and the price is lower, would you notice the difference?Lower and lower prices drive down wages.
You're accusing Amazon of dumping? Do you have any evidence of this, given that Amazon's average profit margin over the last 5 years was 1.25%? I'm no math genius, but if you sell products at below cost, you lose money.Further, selling below cost is a means of destroying competitors.
If Amazon was guilty of dumping, the only thing they'd be guilty of is giving an even bigger bargain to its customers. Who would complain about this?
I'm sure it had nothing to do with producers lobbying the government for that privilege, right?This is why some products have legal minimum prices.
Amazon sells stuff online. Am I really supposed to believe that Amazon is going to put other online retailers out of business and then raise its prices?A monopoly may lower prices today, but this puts them in a position to raise them unilaterally tomorrow.
