Respectfully, this argument reads like it is completely ignorant of the e-commerce landscape over the past 30 years and how much Amazon has shaped and innovated in the space. Not to mention that today they have several verticals beyond e-commerce that make up their valuation.

Okay go on and count only half for the sake of argument. That's still a trillion. Any business can do what Amazon does for their products and their customers. But they don't and they won't. Those who do experience great advantages.

    No, they can't, as evidenced by not everyone else in e-commerce doing that.

      What kind of argument is that? Not doing something is not evidence that it is impossible to do.

        Yer trollin', but yeah, I'll reply, normally when things are successful, people follow suit, so doing something is evidence that it is possible to do. Like, take nuclear weapons for an example...

    Amazon has built out a tremendous logistics network that no one else in the world has.

    Statements like this are just staggeringly ignorant of how businesses like Amazon operate.

      Can you make your point without resorting to insults?

      Businesses don't need to be as good as Amazon or deliver as fast. Amazon is just an example. But business need to take their online experience seriously if they don't want to be pushed aside by Amazon and the likes. And few businesses seem to do that even though it's not hard.
