or ever will be one....

When I was studying human physiology things like:

Oxygen Transport in Blood, Enzymes Actions, Acid-Base Balance, and even Muscle Contraction - are bodily coopertive systems in balance...

The "body" in the U.S. as a whole, is sick, diseased, and infected... andwhilethere appears someefforts arebeing made.. they are not of the cooperative spirit we need to obtain recovery, health, growth.

I could easily name just one business to illistrate this.. and I'm sure you could as well. There are so many, it's saddeningly pitiful on our part we just accept it.

For instance - Amazon.. Jeff Bezos..

Amazon's impact on small businesses has been a topic of significant debate. While the company has provided opportunities for some, critics argue that its practices have harmed many small businesses. Here are some concerns raised:

1. **Market Dominance**: Amazon's control over the online marketplace makes it difficult for small businesses to compete.
2. **Predatory Pricing**: Accusations of undercutting prices to drive competitors out of business.
3. **Copycat Products**: Allegations of Amazon creating private-label products that mimic successful small business items.
4. **High Fees**: Sellers on Amazon often face steep fees for using the platform.
5. **Data Exploitation**: Claims that Amazon uses seller data to gain a competitive edge.
6. **Unfair Search Algorithms**: Concerns that Amazon prioritizes its own products in search results.
7. **Dependency**: Small businesses become reliant on Amazon, losing direct relationships with customers.
8. **Pressure on Margins**: Sellers are often forced to lower prices to remain competitive.
9. **Counterfeit Issues**: Small businesses struggle with counterfeit products being sold on Amazon.
10. **Limited Recourse**: Sellers face challenges in resolving disputes with Amazon.
11. **Impact on Local Retailers**: Amazon's convenience has contributed to the decline of brick-and-mortar stores.
12. **Job Losses**: Critics argue that Amazon's growth has led to job losses in traditional retail.
13. **Environmental Concerns**: Small businesses claim they can't compete with Amazon's scale in sustainable practices.
14. **Monopoly Allegations**: Accusations that Amazon's practices stifle competition.

Here's just one from a small part of their "services" -

If you have Amazon Prime - you're paying for:

1. the streaming service
2. any additional streamers attached to them like Paramount, Apple..etc... there is quite a few
3. You pay extra to remove additional advertising and commercials they benefit from
4. They require autopay directfrom yourchecking account
5. Theprogramming is AIsearchedto point advertisers to your email, phone, social network..andanywhere you don't specifiaclly have to find your own way to divert or censor them, Like Boardhost ads.. they just keep coming.

You know why I like Robert Kennedy? He has a few things needs tweaking.. but he's for a healthy population and strives, not ignores.. plenty of badnessto be gotten rid of.. and he's not getting rich on it, but points out the ones that are...

I could rant all day... and ..we'd still be fighting amongst ourselves becausewecan.. it'sthe onnly power we (kinda) have left to own.

This site has some vision..but not how to see it happen. It wants government to do it..and they already have Bezos in their pockets..

Where do we go from here?
