What do they have a monopoly on?
One movie studio just pushed them into a media market maker?

Walmart on steroids?

Last year Walmart revenues were higher than Amazon ($559B for Walmart and Amazon up 38% to $386B). Market analysts expect Amazon to take the lead from Walmart in 2025. Seems like competition is in place. Walmart has kicked their e-commerce game into high gear. I sell on and buy from both platforms. Walmart is kicking ass and so is Amazon.

I cannot imagine getting through the pandemic without either firm. FedEx and UPS performed heroically too. Supply chains held together and adapted quickly. There is an element here that thinks all businesses are evil. Sure, let’s crave it up like a Thanksgiving turkey based on incorrect information.
