lol, sadly nearly half of Amazon's income is from AWS; even if its entire marketplace went kaput tomorrow, it'd be fine because so much of the entire Internet depends on it.

Maybe so. But there’s nothing stopping someone from selling Sears-owned hosting services other than investment. I can see someone like Mark Cuban doing this.

Amazon is very vulnerable right now because

people are boycotting them
their website is overrun with fake reviews and cheap junk
their products like Alexa are flopping and being canceled
they have overextended themselves buy purchasing outfits they don’t need like Whole Foods

Other retail outfits are flailing like Kohls, Target, and JC Penny for the same reasons.

All it would take is an online store that stands behind what they sell and doesn’t hide behind an eBay-style reseller system while calling it “retail”.

So there is hope... Don't tempt me with a good time!
