A very nice article in an increasingly popular genre: coherent explanations of what Trump either really meant or should have said, as a follow-up to the belligerently confused thing that Trump actually did say.

Yes, this genre, alone, may keep me in business.

I suppose that everyone’s got to earn a living. But have you ever considered taking up an honest trade? You could, for example, retrain as a welder. Welders don’t have to pretend that the president was making a point that he wasn’t actually making, just to put food on the table.

Good points, but a few questions: -where was this backlash when Walmart was taking out entire downtown areas? -is rural America really going to pay more for stuff in brick and mortar stores? How? -does anyone *really* think we can "unring the bell"?
-
I think your point about Walmart is solid. Nobody attacks Walmart for a reason...incredibly popular that provides a low cost service across all income classes. Amazon isn't really far off from that.
-
Yeah, but Walmart isn’t associated with “sex robots” and the end of human employment. Matt’s argument is based on a touch of slippery-slopism in that regard.
-
Plus, Wal-Mart was at least technically physically in your community.
-
True. But the money didn't...just the low wages. Not sure how it is in middle America, but I don't think Walmart provides the same sense of community as mom and pop downtowns. And yes, Amazon provides even less.
-
People care about low prices more than they do low paying jobs. I don't think the election changed that at all.
-
Trump is counting on the fact that your logic is less controlling in the Rust Belt than it is nationwide. We’ll see. If his protectionism raises costs and lowers profits in places like Iowa and Ohio, then he has serious problems.

Really good article. I had an online business that Amazon pretty much crushed. So now I sell on Amazon (can't beat em, join em) and they take almost 40%.
. Sucks, but it's the way it is right now. And btw no sex robots please. Lol - 1 more reply

Amazon has the best reputation of any company in America...average Americans see a benefit from them all the time. You don't think that the daily impact of that use, even among rural America, would resonate more than Trump's fact less rants about them?
-
Never mind the actual facts around Amazon forcing competitors to improve their online shipping, helping streamline the post offices operations, and actually making the Post Office's shipping more profitable etc

There's no Amazon "phobia." Trump is just riffing to get more media coverage and the clueless media are playing along. Same people who bitch about Amazon use it.

America's greatness was always bases on our ability to innovate and adapt. Trump's desire to turn the clock back and force us to become a static society he will turn America into a has been country with little or no influence in the world
