I was wondering about how Amazon has grafted itself to the U.S. government so looked it up and found that government agencies rely on AWS. Is that what your referring to?

You know government, the sector that has the same needs as the private sector economy but is one hundredth the size.

How it's false? Spending and GDP are different things.

The cia and other agencies are deeply tangled with Amazon and Microsoft and Google.
You are unaware we are in capitalism. You have to understand what capitalism Is.
A successful virus in evolution is one that permanently inserts its dna into human dna. So it doesn’t even need to reproduce anymore. That’s why we have so much junk dna.
A successful corporation becomes the government. Microsoft is well past this stage. Microsoft IS the government.

This is why capitalism evolves into socialism, we are in the beginning stages of this. Marx explains all of this better than I can.

"Public-private partnership"

Why do they make a lot of money?
Because big companies are drilled into the woodwork of the governments worldwide, and partners.
How are they drilled into every nook and cranny?
They hired people to lock onto every nook and cranny. Amazon, for example, has effectively grafted itself to the United States government. If you shut down Amazon, you would probably end the government.
That’s on purpose.
These companies are so big because they hire to burrow into every corner and tap into the blood supply so they can never be removed.
