You could make the case that there is no such thing as an antitrust issue in the retail sector. When a specialty chain’s biggest competitors include Wal-Mart and Amazon, I’m not even sure there’s a need for that chain anymore.

We only have Office Depot in my city, so I think we will not lose a store, but will eventually see the sign for Staples put up overnight.

So anyone can start their own company to compete against this, online or as a store. What's stopping them? only government can create a monopoly and government is the biggest evil,corrupt , oppressive, monopoly

Government control is easier when there are big monopolies.
