The Underreported Report from Congress – Part Two

08/23/2022 by Debbi

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.

Allow This Man to Explain the Situation

Ever get the feeling that there are so many apps and other sparkly thangs out there, that we’re being (almost deliberately) distracted to the point where no one is actually consuming what we create. Or we’re spending more time figuring out the latest social medium or life hack than we are creating our work.

BTW, I picked the above photo, because I couldn’t find a decent one for free that expressed the concept of antitrust law. Frankly, the creators of those laws (which date back to the late 19th century) could never have foreseen the manner in which commerce is conducted today.

And nowhere is the problem summed up better than in Lina Khan’s law review article on Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox.  Khan, who has since been appointed head of the Federal Trade Commission, lays it all out very logically. But if you simply don’t want to read it, you should watch this video.

It pretty much says the same thing she did. (And I did. More than ten years ago.)


However, feel free to just ignore me. 🙂

My Book Review of ‘What’s Yours is Mine’

10/12/2021 by Debbi

Hi! Today, I’m reviewing What’s Yours is Mine by Tom Slee. You can’t really see the cover, but you get the idea, I think. And so in any case, I did like this book and you’ll hardly be surprised by why, if you have been listening to or reading any of my stuff lately.

My Indie Publishing Story – Part Two

05/11/2021 by Debbi

In 2011, I blogged repeatedly about my concerns about Amazon. I made an analogy that people quite likely thought was ridiculous was insane was inappropriate/offensive never gave any credence to, assuming they gave a damn what I had to say.

But some authors flocked to the Internet giant. And others stayed staunchly indie, even though we would not get whatever bribe special treatment incentive we might get by being Amazon-exclusive.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
