I don't care at all about this. I hope people steal every last thing off the shelf of WalMart and Target.
I sort of understand that impulse, but you're just going to be left with an even more giant Amazon overlord if you don't have proper competition in brick and mortar.
Hopefully not now that the FCC sued them and wants to break up Amazon. We could turn a Walmart our target into housing for the homeless, or split it up and create shopping centers for cheap so people can open their own shops.
Oh my sweet summer child...
Delusions are an interesting place to live
Then we start stealing from Amazon
Like, the warehouses that can be kept pretty secure or are you going full on Vin Diesel ripping off truckers and having your sister fall in love with some guy whose middle name is Earl?
I mean... why not both?
Tôüçhé
I'll have you know that Tom Petty's middle name was Earl good sir!
Who needs neighborhood supermarkets or drug stores anyway?
Wouldn't Target and Walmart disappearing just open the market for a locally owned small business, or maybe even multiple, to take their place?
Doesn't need to be a corporation that fills that niche.
I don't see how smaller businesses would fare any better in this case.
Jesus. And who do you think will come fill in the blast crater?
I think people will simply do without. Such businesses are not profitable without massive public subsidies for the workers, anyway. Good riddance.
That’s naivety speaking. People won’t do without and other companies will fill the need/want. That’s proven over and over (late stage capitalism).
What I mean to say is they will do without WalMart and Target.
And I think you missed the point.
