This is why Amazon is better for Main St than Walmart. A mens clothier on Main St gets shut down by Walmart. Owner and employees work at Walmart. With Amazon, they can become Amazon retailers. In theory at least.

It's better for Main Street if the money from the community is spent in the community and remains in the community, improving the community.

Buying from Amazon just shunts money to Seattle. Not everyone lives in Seattle.
