Amazon is not making people shop online. People shop online because they want to, and Amazon is there. Also retail is overretailed, in debt, etc.

I agree with you, though I would add that Amazon didn't always play fair vs. brick and mortar retail. For example, they basically tricked governments into making shopping on Amazon tax-free, while retailers had to pay sales tax.

Another caveat, think about how much IP infringing and unsafe product is sold on Amazon vs. Walmart. That's another game they play.

I don't understand your last tweet. I've gotten to the final round of selling to Walmart. I've been to Bentonville. I know a decent amount about the company. Why do you think they've played unfair? Because from what I know, they've been tough, but not unfair.

I was joking that I’ve only been to their store once. I think Walmart is responsible for more store closures than any other company. I guess that’s not unfair, but they underpriced small stores and forced them to shut down.

Right, that’s not unfair it’s just competition. Now look at amazon with sales tax, ip, and product liability. I rest my case.

I remember reading on this here I think https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wal-Mart_Effect …. My only point was that amazon is only one part of the reasons store closures are happening. Like debt https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-retail-debt/ …
