事实上,亚马逊在美也是腹背受敌。不仅遭到国会议员点名,还遭Small Business Rising呼吁拆分。
小商家行业组织呼吁加大反垄断执法力度
拆分亚马逊
4月7日,小型商家行业组织Small Business Rising发布了一份报告,旨在增强反垄断执法力度。该报告呼吁将亚马逊的零售业务和商城业务分开经营,这将给亚马逊带来更多压力。
Small Business Rising, an industry organization representing small businesses, released a report on Tuesday that aims to bolster enforcement of anti-monopoly laws. Among their proposals is the separation of Amazon's retail and mall businesses. By pushing for these measures, Small Business Rising aims to intensify the scrutiny on Amazon. Additionally, they plan to increase the pressure on the company.
由于消费者纷纷在网上购物,疫情期间亚马逊业务得到了很大发展。Small Business Rising一名成员斯塔西·米切尔(Stacy Mitchell)表示,“小企业陷入了危机。作为一名图书经销者,业绩不佳的根本原因是亚马逊。”她说,由疫情造成的经济骚乱和亚马逊等巨头的存在,是Small Business Rising呼吁加大反垄断执法力度的原因。
Small Business Rising还呼吁修订反垄断法,授权反垄断监管机构加大打压垄断行为的力度,从严评估业界巨头间的并购交易。
In two years, Amazon did not pay federal income tax, but it did pay $162 million in 2019. Although Amazon's total revenue in 2020 is about $386 billion, it receives advantageous tax credits and deductions.
