Tyson Foods, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef controls roughly 85% of the U.S. beef market

CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx manage over 80% of all prescriptions in the U.S

Amazon buys 50% of all books.

These examples are even more extreme than at least 3 major clouds present in the US buying hardware.

Not even sure which company are they referring to. I assumed Amazon or Google or Microsoft or Oracle, but all of them have turned profit.

I don't think OpenAI purchase even comes even close to any of these.
