That decision has been made. It's efficiency above everything else. I was a retail meat cutter for many years. We did everything right in the store's meat department. Today low skilled immigrant labor does most of the work we used to do. Each is taught a few cuts then down the line the meat goes for another few unskilled processing cuts. Efficiency has taken all the skill and satisfaction out of the trade.Malls from coast to coast have been closing for the last decade or so due to Amazon and the rest. Not good.
Before that, it was Wal Mart putting all kinds of local businesses out of business.
It's free enterprise, but it comes at a cost, and we need to decide what's best. Pretty damn soon.

Fun fact. Bezos went to my High School. He graduated in 85, me 88.
Amazon loses money on retail. All their profit comes from AWS which funds their destruction of retail. I’m all for market forces but in this case unlike Walmart which makes a profit on retail Amazon is predatory. I’d suggest the government split the two parts of Amazon but I have no idea if that is legal.Amazon, a nearly perfect business model, and actually just an updated version of the old Sears & Roebuck mail order catalog sales.
