I can't think of a worse term for this practice than "rurbanization"

I didn't say Wal-mart didn't have a lot of power, but Apple most certainly has more.

if there are 100 job opportunities for a warehouse worker or delivery driver and 90 of them are Amazon doesnt leave much room for competition
Re:The Capitalist Road to Serfdom on Sunday February 26, 2023 @01:09PM (#34947721)
They only gave Amazon as an example. I was suggesting the other three much larger corporations that it did not give as examples that I'd like to see covered.

Amazon is such an easy target for any journalist

not just you

this article could have been a 140-character tweet

please no more javascript frameworks or socialism frameworks
This is a very long article to say that the result of cosmic rays being more likely to affect right-handed DNA is more variations in right-handed DNA and so it more opportunities to survive. Competition bias or whatever

do you think that would make an real difference? what about ending corporate lobbying and political donations?
Re:The Capitalist Road to Serfdom on Sunday February 26, 2023 @11:07AM (#34946553)
idk Apple's got employees killing themselves to escape the working environment and using children to mine in Africa

seems pretty authoritarian to me

I was just reading something on Medium about this wrt Apple
Re:The Capitalist Road to Serfdom on Sunday February 26, 2023 @11:00AM (#34946485)
don't the big unions have some of the same power/control issues because of capitalism? a rich CEO of a union corp on a private jet seems almost worse than a rich tech monopoly CEO?
Re:The Capitalist Road to Serfdom on Sunday February 26, 2023 @10:58AM (#34946467)
eh, wrt the point, he's not wrong about authoritarian corporations

pretty easy to look at anti-trust laws within capitalism as a solution instead of "try socialism again"

Re:The Capitalist Road to Serfdom on Sunday February 26, 2023 @10:55AM (#34946448)
It seems this is how they are generally compared by economists? Revenue vs GDP doesn't really tell a good story. Wal-mart does not wield remotely the same influence as Apple, but have like 5x their revenue.

I would have liked to see the author give more examples other than just Amazon. Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.
