Since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve spent a lot of money at my local bookstore and bikeshop, and it kills me that Amazon is threatening both. Granted, I haven’t been able to completely cut the Amazon cord (and I have friends who have only survived the past 18 months because of the company), but there has to be a better way.

Good read.

Amazon is just too big. This line stood out: “Amazon is now in the odd position of replacing stores that it helped kill off.”
