This is actually the closest thing I have to a holiday/end-of-the-year message for you all.

I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions, unless you happen to want to change when a new year comes. So change, already. Right? 🙂

Hi. Well, I was going to read you more out of my journals, but I seem to have misplaced them in the mess in my office. So I’m just going to tell you what happened in 2011, I think it was end of 2011.

I started to notice things that Amazon was doing that really disturbed me in the sense that Bezos was buying up all these companies.

Hi everyone. Well, I, this weekend I just had to kind of shut myself down a little bit. I mean, I actually went online both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday, it’s like, I started to think, what am I doing? What am I doing to myself? I’m going online every single day doing stuff. And I, I don’t think it’s good for me to do that. So I am seriously, seriously thinking of taking a break either on weekends or just one day of the weekend from all online activity. Seriously. I’m, I’m just really starting to think about that. Except maybe Duolingo. <Laugh> I like keeping up my, I know it’s an algorithm, but you know, I can’t help myself. Yeah. I’m addicted. That’s what happens. You become addicted to this stuff and it’s like, you have to do it or you feel like, oh, you know, I haven’t done something that I should. No, you don’t have to.

Hi, shall I? Well, I’m going to continue with more of this, and it’s extremely interesting reading. I have to tell you. “Amazon.com – Market Power.” That’s the section I’m reading from now. Just excerpts.

“Amazon has significant and durable market power in the US online retail market.” Well, I think we knew that, but it goes into findings here.

In retrospect, I should have done more of an introduction, explaining that this is a topic that should be discussed. It should be made, as they say, “part of the narrative.” 🙂

Hi, everyone. I’m gonna talk about something a little bit different today. I don’t know if you remember the hearings before the congressional subcommittee investigating competition and digital markets. They took testimony from the four companies there, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and somebody else. I don’t remember. Was it …Facebook! Facebook, of course. Facebook. So yeah, I always wondered what happened after that. This happened after that, this.
