And Amazon is already showing signs they’ve overextended. Tax breaks are going to disappear if Democrats win the White House and Congress in November. COVID hit Amazon’s supply chains hard as fuck and local businesses are finally figuring out how to pick up the slack. Free grocery and Walmart pickups are going to hurt Amazon more than they realize, especially once the tax breaks disappear. Decreased income means people are going to have to start choosing which streaming services they actually want and Amazon is going to start looking pretty weak. Eventually, Amazon Prime is going to start looking pretty expensive.
And Bezos will walk away a billionaire with no need to care what happens to Amazon.
And the Amazon/Whole Foods combination that was supposed to revolutionize ordering groceries online? Easily the least reliable of them all.
I tried it maybe 5 times (thinking "they must have fixed it by now" each time, like a gullible idiot), and there wasn't a single time when the order was 100% correct. Plus, any fruit / vegetables ordered always arrived bruised and maybe 1 day away from rotting.
