I would vote Amazon, then grocery chains & food production.
Tech companies need broken up too, but things that affect food supply and distribution have such a disproportionately large impact on those with lower incomes, and would result in much larger, immediate quality of life improvements for the majority of Americans.
I agree. The fact that chicken eggs tripled in price with seemingly little cause crosses the line. I know there was the bird flu that swept through farms but there were several articles that talked about how that event shouldn’t have caused such a steep increase. It’s criminal, that’s our food!
that’s true! amazon has a disproportionate impact on lower income people, but i’d consider the wider effect on society: google/facebook/etc controls access to information, which is more and more dangerous every year that they remain with that relatively unfettered control
amazon will remain similarly problematic, but that problem will likely be just as fixable while information access allows the FTC to act with a way to counter disinformation campaigns

Like Walmart which is way worse than Amazon.
I like to call them “Openly More Evil Amazon”
Walmart = offline Amazon
What about 73 billion dollars in online sales in 2022 says “offline” to you?
Goddamn. I completely forgot they even had an online shop.
