Amazon is America's Operating System
In America today, there is no other company that is touching the lives of the citizens in the ways Amazon is doing it. From shopping to grocery, the ecommerce pioneer is redesigning industrial sectors. Most American technology companies are already paying "taxes" to Amazon on its cloud hosting platform - Amazon Web Services. Interestingly, this company seems just to be starting: it is an online pharmacy PillPack. This means Amazon is going to become a pharmacy shop!
Amazon is acquiring online pharmacy PillPack in a deal that is already shaking up the drugstore industry. The move is the strongest indication yet of Amazon's intent to push further into the health-care industry. It threatens to remove one of the few distinguishing factors pharmacy chains have relied on to fend off Amazon, the sale of prescription drug
In any way you look at it, Amazon is now an operating system, running the lives of most Americans. The prime membership already has a population of excess of 100 million people which makes it a solid country if you want to go that path.
The Amazon Nation is the power of vision and that explains why markets have rewarded the founder and leader, Jeff Bezos, as the richest capitalist ever.
