    So they are taking a page from YouTube where they out price the market until they are the market, and then will drastically raise prices because there’s no longer any competition?

      Yeah but I feel like that only worked because YouTube was still fairly new and a niche market compared to groceries, which everbody needs. I don’t see how even Amazon can try to kill the competition in a market that huge, regardless of price or convenience.

        So I assume you wrote this after picking up groceries from your locally owned grocery store? Because you still have one - it didn’t collapse due to a Walmart coming to town?

        Most of us have a solid example of what driving a grocery store out of business looks like, though.
