None of those facts do that, as Walmart offers everything you listed.

I just happen to live in AR and know a number of people who work on the relevant teams that do each of these things at Walmart, and given Walmart.com's growth in the last year, Amazon is far from the only company able to provide these services profitably.

Is Amazon a competitor? Yes. Do they have a monopoly? Heck no.




Oh wow, you conveniently know the exact people doing those exact things at Walmart but instead first made up that I expressed a negative sentiment. Yeah, okay.


Huh, what does that have to do with whether or not Amazon has a monopoly? I think at this point it’s clear they do not, you just didn’t have the info about the industry you were commenting on.


Oh, my dad works at the Justice Department and he said it does.


Okay so to be clear, are you saying you don't believe Walmart.com does the things you've listed, but if they did, you'd be wrong?


No, because the fact that competitors exist doesn't mean that there are not anti-trust concerns, not sure why I keep having to repeat this to you but oh well.
