The internet is going just fine … Very happy to have Proton folks in my life. Been a long time payer and I plan on being here for years to come as long as they are.

    If Amazon were a country, and you treated its gross revenue as GDP, it would sit right between Ireland and belgium in the rankings.

    554 billion dollars of revenue every year.

    It’s insane that one company has more money moving than some medium sized countries.

    Personally I think it’s criminal that one company can control that much of a market, and it actually might be criminal considering Amazon offers everything from web hosting, video streaming, selling pretty much anything, manufacturing their own products, to sending you your prescription. AT&T was broken up for doing pretty much the same thing. I think it’s time we actually enforce some of these antitrust laws we have.
