Week in Review: Amazon, crime, and homelessness

Bill Radke discusses the week's news with political analyst and contributing columnist Joni Balter, PubliCola's Erica Barnett, and KUOW's David Hyde. The Federal Trade Commission and 17 states filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, accusing it of illegally protecting a monopoly. Amazon says, no, they're getting the consumer what they want cheap and fast, and that they're powerful because consumers love how cheap and fast they are. So, they ask, how can we be a monopoly when we're great for the consumer? Is this lawsuit going to break Amazon into pieces, weaken their dominance, shrink their workforce, and return Seattle to being a sleepy cheapy town? Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell signed an executive order on a new drug use law, which calls for referring individuals to resources when possible, over making an arrest.
