At the cost of 100,000 small businesses closing. It's a good thing, but those jobs generally come at a cost, too.
I doubt it's nearly that drastic. What we buy from Amazon was previously bought from big box stores. The things I can and do buy from small local businesses will change very little if there is a local branch of Amazon to purchase from.
If amazon sold Kobe beef, would you buy it? Or would you go to your local butcher and purchase from them?
I wouldn't give 2 shits about Kobe beef... but if they carried Wagyu, I might be interested (because it's so hard to find in a store).

I was busy yesterday... I'm almost caught up now. And anyone in the US who claims to have "Kobe" beef is a liar... if it were real you would need a second mortgage to buy a steak.
