One could almost come to the conclusion that Amazon running a global experiment on price elasticity on their complete customer base.

At any retailer that isn't running that experiment constantly, at least half of the executive team should be fired.

True that. For normal retailers there is still the competition part which kind of tends to pull prices down.
And Amazon has the legendary fly wheel which has lower prices in it. So it kind of seems that Amazon is moving away from the original strategy and becoming an "normal" retailer. Not that investors don't like that, obviously.
