Don’t tell me. The full bibliography of Ayn Rand adorns your bookcase?

You really couldn't be more wrong.

You don't have to be a Randroid or a libertarian, or even right wing, to understand that a discourse predicated on everyone getting everything for free with no real trade-off doesn't really make sense in the real world.

You’re entirely ignoring network effects. No one is saying Amazon should have made a loss indefinitely, or at all. They’re saying that they deliberately made a loss to lock customers and businesses into their platform.

Network effects matter a great deal and I gave up half way through this article because I couldn’t find any sign at all that you recognised this. It’s liberal garbage: “Hey kids, here’s how the world works if you entirely ignore power”.

Hopeless. Sorry.
