    I could see that, but I could see an argument that those big players want this to end, too. They know how to dominate business as usual -- that's how they got so big in the first place. Disruption creates openings for new competition, which they don't want. Look at how many businesses stepped up delivery options by necessity during the pandemic. That's a new, direct challenge to Amazon's own delivery service.

    Then there's the fact that businesses that large have an interest in staying off the political radar (and keeping radical political change off the menu in general), and the pandemic fucking so many people over makes that harder.

      i think this is far more relevant, even for america there's a limit for the "safe" amount of anger that people can have before shit goes sideways

        There is zero limit to how far shit can go in America. What action are people going to take? We had literal uprisings around the country last summer, and the result was more funding for cops 😂
