offering free 3 day shipping on catalog items. Amazon has been killing their profits, and Sam Walton's kids aren't going to stand for that! Sam's heirs chose their fathers and other relatives very wisely. It's only right that they be richly rewarded for their amazing insight into choosing their ancestors so carefully.

If there's a war between Walmart and Amazon, I'm taking Amazon all the way. Walmart was the reason so many companies decided to shift their production to China, Mexico, India etc. Of course consumers share a great deal of the blame as well. They wanted "low prices" so badly corporations had to shift their production platforms overseas where they could get slave labor. There went the jobs, and the rest - as they say - is history.
