This right here…as bad as Walmart is to communities and local businesses, Amazon is much worse.

There’s only so much selection that can fit inside a Walmart. They aren’t going to carry every book, just the most popular, it’s harm to the local bookstore is limited. As an example.

Walmart killed the general stores and the supermarkets more than anything. And some other markets that had limited time left for other factors, like record stores. But they can’t kill the more specific-needs stores nearly as easily. Those are getting killed by other big-box retailers (who themselves are struggling against Amazon now)
