Do you think Bezos has it in mind to take on those oligoplies when he changes the editorial focus to promoting free markets?

To Bezos, "free markets" is a world where Amazon is free to monopolize however it wants without interference. It is one where people like Lina Khan are imprisoned or shot rather than placed in positions of power.

What consumers want is a competitive market with many choices that pushes down prices and forced companies to innovate. What Bezos wants is to crush everybody else.
