I fully agree with the sentiment of this post and the points made in it. I hate the likes of Amazon. I've only once bought a book from Amazon, which I had to do because it wasn't available anywhere else. Centralized megacorporations crushing small businesses and local value chains everywhere. They're not paying a lot in the way of taxes, which is why governments squeeze them out of whom they can: you, me and local businesses.

The only force in the world that can put an end to that shit without any violence is crypto. Put protocols in charge instead of humans. I've long held that this is the way forward. There are folks here on Hive who are opposed to any and all large scale systems. Organization on a large scale is absolutely necessary, including things like law enforcement and national defense. But the best way to govern communities made up of millions of people is not centralized pyramid-like power structures.
