“Amazon gets your orders to you in two days. How can local shops compete with that?”
How about the rest of us who need the damn thing NOW? I’m not the type of person who waits. Time is money (except being on FR). I know the difference at WalMart vs Amazon is $5, why the heck am I gonna wait days? My GF does Amazon only if she has the “I dont really need it now” attitude but if she wants to go to the mall (and drag me), she’ll do it.
They keep saying that obozo created millions of jobs. No one talks about how many jobs were lost. I bet the net loss/gain is in negative numbers. Plus 94% of the jobs created are part time jobs.
Most of the American economy isn’t driven by things we need now. It’s driven by things we want next time we go out. And when you can order from your couch and get the item BEFORE you go out that’s going to win every time.

Well of course if you need it right now you go to the local store. Most of the stuff I order can wait.
