We compete hard. We compete fairly. We try to be the best. Our goal is the best, not the most. We dont have a dominant share in any market or product category where we do business. Competition leads to better products and more choices for everyone. Emily but lawmakers coming out swinging. The ceo struggling to get their answers in. Jeff bezos of amazon having trouble getting some words in edgewise. Didnt have monopoly power over the sellers, do you think they would choose to stay in a relationship characterized by bullying, fear, and panic . With all respect, congresswoman, i do not accept the premise of your question. Does amazon pursue similar predatory campaigns in other parts of its business . I cannot comment on that because i dont remember it. Heres how the company described working with amazon. Amazon strings you along for a while because it feels so good to get that paycheck every week and in the past, we called it, heroin. This is one of your partners. Why would they compare y
Were in one of the environments where you enjoy, the sun is shining, we enjoy the lovely market and the u. S. Economy is stronger than the rest of the World Economy and most of the u. S.

Issue or the big opportunity we have seen is it turns out that janet yellen is as good at job boning the markets as greenspan ever was, without being quite as opaque. And to me, that, you know theres great comfort. Because we took away some of the speculative behavior in my world, particularly related to the unicorns and the Venture Capital side of the business. And as i look forward into the year, i still think theres a tremendous amount of uncertainty. So i expect a lot of chop. But theres no question that by deflating some of those crazy asset valuations that we saw in the private market, the tech sector, at least, looks better than it did when i left.

K d, most remarkable of all is that Hillary Clinton is one of thell voices in this course. We keep track and we remember hillarys view just two years ago. Heres what she thought ofwe losing candidates who claim to the was rigge
