I have no sympathy for this. How many of these business owners applauded the coronavirus restrictions, which gave Amazon unfair advantages over mom and pop stores, thanks to the diabolical "essential retailer" label?
How many of these business owners publicly disagreed with the push to bring back manufacturing to the US? If there was a manufacturing boom, it would be harder for Amazon to locate the Chinese supplier and undercut American businesses.

Non sequitor.
These aren't business people. They're biznaz, the sort of low intellect dudebro cretins churned out by the likes of Carlson School of Management. They didn't put in work, they just found a Chinese product and came up with a logo to slap on it... just like AmazonBasics.
It absolutely isn't a non sequitur. These people advocate for things that embolden Amazon's business practice, until they do something they don't like. Maybe if they had standards that they upheld indiscriminately, things like this wouldn't occur.
Can't flip flop on issues on the premise they don't affect you, but then start to complain when they though. Reminds me of the idiots crying about a stimulus package, when they applauded the state mandated lockdowns. You reap what you sow.
Ravelli holds no patents. They have nothing to hold over Amazon because they literally did not create or produce their product. They went to a chinese manufacturing wholesaler, bought their product, and slapped a brand on it.
AmazonBasics did the same thing.
Now, take my much better Manfrotto tripod head. Manfrotto SPA has patents. They have a lot of patents. If AmazonBasics tried to sell Manfrotto's product there would be lawsuits.
I have no regard for middlemen. I think they contribute nothing of economic value, they just compete amongst themselves for who is better at marketing and service.
In this case AmazonBasics and Ravelli are both middlemen peddling the same literal product produced by the same Chinese factory. I don't care if Amazon leverages its advantage for that particular SKU.
To put it another way, for Ravelli to have legitimacy in my eyes they would have had to contribute some original value beyond just inventing a brand.
Nobody gets angry about Albertsons for not carrying Walmart store brand cereal. Nevermind that it's the same damn cereal.

I agree with this. I think this story is a clickbait article by elitist crybabies, who want to contribute a wind up to the perpetual communist frenzy.
