>A lot of mom and pop businesses (~$20 million) have been built on Amazon over the past 10 years. Most of us are in the $250k to $5 million dollar range.
It's interesting, Amazon also put a lot of mom and pop businesses out of business during this time period as well. The overhead that used to go to local commercial property owners, independent trucking and warehousing companies and such now all goes to Amazon. It's a total monopoly in the old school robber barron sense. Not only do they own the railroad they also own the steel plant and the coal mine.
Break 'em up like Bell I say!
