Got to remember that Cincy is home to Procter & Gamble. Ranks 25 as a Fortune 500 company.

We are in a position to be a big player (location wise) if the city & state can work together.

Recall, the Independent Postal System (IPS); idea that was born in OKC that is now UPS is headquartered Atlanta with a major hub in Louisville--not far from Cincy.

UPS was founded in Seattle well before IPS.

Correct!

Seattle has been the birthplace and growth of a number of corporations and companies.

Amazon is definitely profiting from this pandemic. They just announced three new facilities in the San Antonio (https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2020/12/22/amazon-announces-plans-for-3-new-facilities-1500-jobs-in-san-antonio/), including two new fulfillment centers, totaling 2 million square and also announced a new 1 million square foot fulfillment center in the greater San Antonio area. That would give San Antonio five massive fulfillment centers in the San Antonio and greater San Antonio are.

Please explain about them owning and controlling everything? Hyperbole or facts?
Maybe they are giving the buying public goods and services in a way and for a price that they prefer over other alternatives and that is why they continue to grow. If they are squashing competition then they can be corralled with anti monopoly proceedings.

And how many of those anti-monopoly cases have been brought recently (past decade)? I'm honestly asking because I don't know, but I doubt it's very many, that doesn't seem to be the way the US/world is going.

Rover, someone needs to be bold enough to bring charges (AND PROSECUTE) them. This used to be the Federal Government but as we've seen they have no interest.
