Should the government regulate Amazon?

The good the bad and the ugly in humanity
I always felt that the Government should have put restrictions on Amazon. Any individuals or companies should not be allowed to disrupt the infrastructure of the world economy as such. I think it is very dangerous to humanity as a whole. I believe limitation should apply to anyone who has no concept of morality, compassion, excessive greed and humility.
The great philosophers, economists and scientists in the past have envisioned that for a society to function properly, there should be an equal balance. Too much of anything is not in the best interest of anybody.
Mankind needs to learn from the past. Remember how many people who have died as result of one man's ambition to take over the whole world. We do not want history to repeat the past, we can attest to that.
In the case of Amazon, it takes the livelihoods of a lot of people away from them. I am not talking in a vacuum, I know what I am saying.
Let's Go Down Memory lane !
If you go to malls across America, chain stores that used to provide jobs for local people are no longer in business today. Mom and Pop stores that we grew up with are out of business right now. The remaining ones that are still standing no longer operate the way they used to anymore. They have fewer workers or some of the departments are completely whipped out.
Another example, post offices are struggling to stay open because Amazon and the internet are taking away their mailings and shipping business.
I can go on and on and on, the moral of the story is that everyone needs to survive in this world. When a big company has its hands on everything, it is not doing a favor to anybody.
When you cut people's food supplies, their ability to make a living, eventually you will suffer the same consequences.
If people have jobs and opportunities, they would be more likely to spend money and buy stuff. If a company is allowed to make that kind of money in a short amount of time while the whole world is fighting a pandemic and shutdown then I do not know what to call it.
Sudden interruption can create enormous imbalance in our society
Statistics suggest that there is a serious unfairness, and a great deal of inequality going on. The 24 billion dollars collected by Amazon should be distributed throughout the world for human causes.
Right at this moment, there are people who cannot find foods or basic needs to survive right here in the US. Can you imagine what the rest of the world is going through?
How much money do you need to take to Hell!!
How much money, how many cars, how much food, how many houses, how many vacations a person needs to have at a time in order to satisfy.
The gap between have and have not is widening at an alarming rate that the world has never seen before. This should be a wake up call to all of us. The need for re-calibration of the system navigation is eminent. The intended system drifts off course, therefore; it needs to be refreshed.
No more!
Corporate Social Responsibility - Self Regulation - contribution - obligation - ethical
If you ask most citizens what they want in life, you will be surprised to hear their answers. They simply want to be able to have a job, make a decent living to take care of their family and be healthy. In fact, most people are either comfortable with their lives or accept the environment that they are in. They don't at all want to be rich, be famous and lose touch with reality. They just want a bit of fairness, that is all!
Just a thought for the sake of humanity!
