[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3455087, member: 60252"] I'm saying that net to the economy, there isn't that much of a change. Fewer clerks in the local store but more delivery drivers everywhere, and more employees gained at the distribution than lost elsewhere in the cities where distribution centers are located. Buggy builders couldn't compete with auto makers, and only a troglodyte would mourn for those companies that were made obsolete. Just look at the tens of thousands of delivery drivers FEDEX has added since 2000 to meet the online demand plus UPS, USPS, and all the other local services Amazon uses. The competition from Amazon has even made the competition add delivery services, adding even more jobs. Maybe Walmart lost a few jobs inside the store, but they've added in their warehouses. Now they even offer delivery out of some of their stores. Everyone of those drivers makes more money than if unemployed, and is able to eat at local restaurants. With unemployment hovering around 5%, anyone who wants to work can get a job, so no one is unemployed solely due to Amazon. [/QUOTE]
