I think we just have different value systems. For me, even the potential of abusing these powers is enough to break up Amazon, and I see very little reason to hold back. It's like trying to prevent a country from developing nuclear weapons, even though they have a great government and there's no evidence they would ever abuse them.

Basically, Amazon's "right to grow" or whatever is not important at all to me, and I don't see what harm is done by breaking them up. I guess a few executives and large shareholders might lose some money, but everybody keeps their jobs, their products will continue, it just feels as obvious to me as your position feels to you. Corporations don't have rights and are not innocent until proven guilty, there's no need to convict them of a crime. It's like city planning: if the community would be better served by removing a highway and putting in some dedicated bus lanes, you just take a vote and then do it, you don't have to wait until there's a 20 car pileup on the highway to take action.
