We're sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing. It's clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable. We'll see them in court. [image]

Wow, AG office throwing out infographics. lol. It's Amazon related but if I am being honest, this rarely affects me as a seller and doesn't really crack my top 100 issues with Amazon.

This should make your blood boil. Amazon is using its market power to coerce major retailers to hike prices at Walmart and Target. It is pouring kerosene on an affordability crisis. Forcing price hikes to preserve market share is illegal monopoly maintenance, clear as day.
