How Big Is Amazon, Really?
By Shira Ovide
I’m fond of ( ) repeating a shopping statistic ( ) that often surprises people. In the United States — even during the pandemic — only about $14 out of each $100 worth of stuff we buy is spent online. Amazon is responsible for roughly $5 of that.
So is Amazon a giant that dominates ( ) our internet spending or a blip ( ) in America’s shopping universe? It depends on how you look at the numbers. Amazon is huge in internet sales, but puny ( ) relative to all the goods Americans buy.
Our perception ( ) of Amazon’s size influences how the public and policymakers think about the company. And yet while the company’s share of spending matters, it also doesn’t tell us everything.
Permit me to get a little nerdy ( ) about numbers. Without a doubt, Amazon is the king of online shopping in the United States. Research firm eMarketer estimated that Amazon will be responsible for more than 40% of Americans’ e-commerce spending this year. The second-largest internet store, Walmart, is far behind at about 7%.
Back to my point, though, that internet shopping remains relatively ( ) small. The picture is a little different depending on how you count.
U.S. government data on online shopping plus those eMarketer estimates ( ) put Amazon at about 5% of all U.S. retail sales.
(And there’s a wrinkle ( ): A trade group for retailers recently told me that there could be inaccuracies in the government counting of shopping that blurs ( ) the line between stores and online, such as picking up online orders in person.)
Data can be a weapon. Amazon often uses a version of the 5% sales figure to counter ( ) critics who say the company is too big and powerful. But government investigations into big technology companies are looking at the behavior of Big Tech, not just their size. They’re trying to answer whether companies abuse their power to get advantages over competitors and hurt us.
Amazon has had a profound ( ) influence on people’s behavior, the strategies of entire industries and our communities no matter what the numbers say.
What we’re seeing in real life from Amazon and beyond are big ripple effects ( ) from a small market share.
So, is Amazon big? Yes and also no. And the reality is that no matter what the numbers say, Amazon commands ( ) the attention of people, other companies and governments because it’s influential in reshaping the world.
亞馬遜到底算不算大？
我喜歡重述一個常讓人吃驚的購物統計數字。在美國，即便是疫情期間，我們每購買100美元商品，僅14美元是在網上消費，其中亞馬遜約占了5美元。
所以，亞馬遜究竟是主宰我們網路消費的巨人，還是美國購物世界乍現的一個小光點呢？端視你如何看待這些數字。亞馬遜網路銷售金額龐大，但跟美國人總體商品購買額相比卻微不足道。
我們對亞馬遜規模的感受，影響著民眾和決策者對該公司的看法。然而，該公司在消費者支出中所占比率固然重要，卻並不代表一切。
且容我在數字上再多著墨些。無疑地，亞馬遜是美國網路購物之王。研究公司eMarketer估計，亞馬遜將占今年美國民眾電子商務支出的40％以上。第二大網路商店沃爾瑪則以7%左右遠遠落後。
不過，回到我原先談到的重點，網路購物規模仍相對較小。隨著計算方式的不同，情況也會有些差異。
根據美國政府有關網路購物的數據及eMarketer的估計，亞馬遜約占美國零售總額的5%。
（還有一個小問題是，一個零售業的同業組織日前告訴我，政府對購物數字的統計可能不準確，因為模糊了實體商店和網路商店的界限，例如在網路下單卻親赴實體商店取貨。）
數據可以是一種武器。亞馬遜經常用5%的銷售比率來反駁那些認為該公司太強大的批評者，但政府對大型科技公司的調查不僅關注其規模，還關注行為。他們正嘗試查明這些公司是否濫用權力來獲得超越競爭對手的優勢，並對我們造成傷害。
無論這些數字代表什麼，亞馬遜對人們的行為、各種產業的整體策略，以及我們的社群，都有著深遠影響。
我們在現實生活中從亞馬遜及其他公司身上看到的是，來自低市占率的巨大連漪效應。
那麼，亞馬遜很大嗎？是，也不是。現實的情況是，不管這些數字代表什麼，亞馬遜都吸引著人們、其他企業和政府的注意，因為它在重塑這世界上具有影響力。

How God Proves Himself
“Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads, and saying, “Ha! You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” Likewise, also the chief priests mocking among themselves with the scribes said, “He saved others. He can’t save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, that we may see and believe him.” Those who were crucified with him also insulted him.” (Mark 15:29-32 WEB)
Jesus did not have to prove Himself by doing what the chief priests said.
Jesus could have easily come down from the cross at any time.
If He just called out, the whole heavenly army would appear, rescue Him, and slay all the wicked people standing around.
“Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”” (Matthew 26:53-54 WEB)
But if Jesus had listened to the chief priests’ words and come down from the cross, all mankind would be doomed to the lake of fire. There is no other way for men to be saved, except by Jesus becoming everyone’s atoning sacrifice for sins.
Men in their foolishness expect God to do things a certain way, according to their puny understanding of how God works.
They put conditions upon God, saying that if He does a certain something, then they would believe in Him, and if He does not, then He is not real.
That is not how God proves Himself. If we want to know God and believe in Him, we can simply hear or read God’s words in the Scriptures, for they are inspired by Him.
What we think is good for us may turn out to be something that harms us indirectly. We have to trust that God is wiser than us, and that He has our best interests at heart.
Thankfully Jesus did not listen to the chief priests who wanted Him to come down from the cross. Our salvation was His mission and the Father’s will; nothing would stop Him from accomplishing it. He was willing to be slighted and mocked, as long as we would be saved.
So dear child of God, instead of saying things like, “God, if you are good, you would have done this instead of doing that,” trust the Scriptures and believe that any apparent contradictions are due to some truths that you have not learnt yet.
God is good, and His loving kindness endures forever. This is true, no matter whether we understand it or not. If you want God to prove Himself, make sure you are hoping in His written promises. That way, you will never be disappointed based on false assumptions!

Get ready to witness the most unfair exchange in history—one that is unfairly good in our favor!
We usually swap items of similar value with our friends during gift exchanges, but when it comes to God, what can our puny human hands give Him except our brokenness and failure? Hear this though: God chose to be part of this crazy exchange ANYWAY. He sent His only Son, our Lord Jesus to become a curse for us on the cross. i.e. Jesus died the death we deserved for all our sins, so we could receive God's blessings we don't deserve (see Gal 3:13). Blessings that include more than access to heaven as our eternal home—but also blessings today: Peace for our stress, health for our sickness, and love for our loneliness.
Watch, be blessed, and share this video!
