People have used brick and mortar stores to look at goods and then go online to buy. I use Amazon to research goods and then buy them at a seller online or more often at a local brick and mortar. We’re a small town rural community and you can see the affects of not buying local. Occasionally I buy at Amazon.

One word for them: IDIOTS!

If they had any sense, they would have stayed and would have been able to make a contribution to help set the business friendly agenda.
