If we all stopped using AWS and started using something else, eventually it would become the same thing.
Eh. The cornerstone of most of these big firms is some amount of government or government-adjacent contracting.
That’s what makes them convenient. They adopt uniform integrations. They operate in bulk. They have enormous staff. You’re nibbling around the edges of a much bigger and more complex system.
The solution to Amazon isn’t to patron some Mom-And-Pop retail frontend (that almost certainly also uses Amazon for shipping). It’s to nationalize Amazon and incorporate it into the USPS.
AWS has nothing meaningful to do with USPS or shipping, but I agree it would be interesting if it was nationalized. A nationalized hyperscaler… interesting

AWS is the single largest provider of cloud commuting services across the US Public Sector, USPS included.
But I was more referring to the Reverse Flow of Amazon Shipping, which takes heavy advantage of USPS last mile service, because this is the most expensive part of delivery.

Given the degree to which the state finances these businesses, it’s sort of crazy we haven’t nationalized them already.
