His goal is to put everyone else out of business.

I don’t know if I understand this.

His goal is certainly to grow and develop his business. His goal is to do that, regardless of what the management of Sears is doing with their business.

I get that Bezos is a liberal a-hole. But, that doesn't mean Amazon hasn't beaten the competition by being a superior means of selling items.

Why does it surprise anyone that Bezos is smart and wants to advance his footprint?
