Damn this thread is negative as hell.

I’m one of the most cynical, pessimistic people I know, but not in here.

Kinda wish people’s first reaction were “good,” not “yeah right, remember Bell in the 80’s?”

Maybe I’m naive, but this seems like good news to me. Even if it doesn’t actually result in Amazon being broken up, at least it indicates someone is doing something.

“Don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress” or something like that.

Even if it doesn’t actually result in Amazon being broken up, at least it indicates someone is doing something.

Aren't they just deciding whether or not to do something via the lawsuit rather than actually for sure doing something yet? ~Strawberry
