   Amazon is a massive immoral monster devouring the US economy and replacing it with something vaguely worse, year by year.
Not so long ago, people were saying exactly the same thing about Walmart.

And it's still true, at least in some parts of the country. There are places in the Midwest where Walmart is the only place a lot of people shop. There are towns in the southeast going broke in part because they're paying police to act as Walmart internal security.

But I suppose two battling monsters beat one rampaging monster, at least.

Because there was no Amazon to compare to at the time. Walmart's reach never once approached modern AZ's.
