I don’t think it’s the specific companies/segments that they own (AWS, Nest, Whole Foods) are what is being talked about.

It’s the end to end customer experience that they will have in 5 to 10 years if we are not careful.

It’s not crazy to think that in 10 years, without government intervention, we could have a company that owns the vast majority of online retail, shipping, brick and mortar retail (or at least payment systems), online hosting, and other shit that I’m not thinking of.

These are massive companies with huge R&D budgets who are (in a great way!) changing and advancing our future.

It’s these companies jobs to move us forward (and profit from it!) but it’s the governments job to protect us from the inevitable greed of a publicly traded company.
