Walmart has a bad name because they put mom and pop stores out of business.
For Amazon, they're killing major brick and mortar retailers of all types. They're also getting into food/groceries. Their goal is to handle nearly any SKU.
The question that must be asked, are we willing to watch Amazon take down so many sectors of the US economy while they in turn are hellbent on growing aggressively showing very little profit, thus paying very low taxes?
There's a lot of issues going on here and you don't have to be in the freight business to be a bit worried about Amazon.
