Well recent bouts of inflation say otherwise

They don’t, in fact.

Price fixing is rare because you gain so much by defecting from the cartel.

"Competitors choosing" is usually considered to be price fixing

No? It isn’t?

Where do you think prices come from?

Amazon et al aren't the only US companies guilty of this or other anti-competitive behaviors

How is this anti-competitive?

“Essentially” is the load-bearing weasel word here that allows this story to blame Amazon for their competitors choosing to offer the same goods at higher prices.

You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.

Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you're literally forced to buy from them

You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.

They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.

If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.

Their father has a choice. He should act in a way that’s in his children’s best interests but if he thinks attacking Israel is more important, then the consequences will be his to live with.

I agree with you it would be better if he were simply killed, though; that’s certainly the position Israel takes on the matter.

Sometimes you bomb them so you don’t have to, or to block a means of egress. Either way it’s a legitimate military objective that justifies civilian casualties.

People could just leave the area, though. It’s not like Israel doesn’t tell them about the strike.

I’m asking you if you know of an alternate location from which Hamas plots attacks on Israel. Yes or no?

It literally is

Do you think they moved? Where do you think they moved it to?

Unfortunately choices have consequences

It’s targeting the militant based on his phone.
