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.
That tracks with some human social groups I have met or been welcomed into.
There’s usually one or two guys who are willing to play the “big scary” when necessary to get rid of creeps. The rest of the time they’re usually the chill ones whose couch anyone can crash on.
I guess that is a kind of leadership, in itself.
But they usually aren’t the one who decides which theater to go to.
