(4,341 posts)Amazon used to be a place where you could buy and save, I have found many items that are much cheaper at Wal-Mart and some other online places, one item was $20.00 cheaper at Wal-Mart than what Amazon was offering at "discount".
I do believe that reigns must be imposed on Amazon, they serve no real purpose anymore, not when you can't save when buying from them.
It is very sad what the USA has become, and I am not blaming it on Amazon, but if you were to take a road trip, drove from North Carolina to Philadelphia, fell sleep in the car while in NC, woke up when you reached Philadelphia, you would not know if you are still in NC because the same plazas, the same malls, the same stores and all located very similarly will be found anywhere you go.
Cities have no personality of their own anymore, any mall you go to has the same chain stores, the same products, the same decorations, etc. It is very sad because we, the consumers, not only accept it but we demand it.
