You can only ignore a capitalist until he becomes a monopolist.
You can ignore a commitee of senators at any time by voting them out.

I agree Amazon has an uncomfortable amount of power and influence in retail. But they are very far from a monopolist. And "voting them out" doesn't erase laws that those Senators passed.
If a committee of Senators, on the other hand, makes a declaration -- Amazon cannot sell Chinese goods cheaper than American-made alternatives -- or maybe, delivery times to rural areas must match those to cities -- then everybody loses, and you can't opt out of that.
