Any good resources/write ups comparing the distribution capabilities of Amazon vs Wal-Mart? Wal-Mart won the discount store wars by leveraging regional rural distribution capabilities & tech, but haven’t seen much talk about how those capabilities factor into e-comm battle w Amzn

Outside of rural areas, in the future, most grocery will be delivered. That's a tricky problem that neither have figured out yet.
4. Walmart has a brand for low-cost, but it's bullshit. Amazon is cheaper for non-grocery if you have a prime account. tl;dr Walmart has a lot of cash but is fucked unless bezos' monopoly is regulated.

Are you even sure you'd want to retool it? I mean...their stores are still cash cows so they need to keep getting goods to them, so it sounds like they need to add capacity, in a different way to these locations - and then, what's the synergy?
