Walmart is a last resort option. For example, my last purchase was an unusual size bicycle inner tube. I physically went to two other stores before ordering from walmart. I have no love for walmart, but Amazon poses the larger monopolistic threat. The damage amazon is capable of inflicting is only just beginning.
Amazon's marketshare with aws scares me more than their retail presence. They will definitely use that market dominance to the detriment of society.
As it should. AWS is making Amazon a feudal lord in the cloud space.
I avoid Wal-Mart like the fucking plague.
Agreed with all of that. And luckily at my current shop, im a proud user of azure devops. Now thats a company who is good for competition and doesn't contribute to any social injustices. Sigh. Well I guess at least our available infastructure options and datasets arent managed by the ccp. Smh that will teach me to think my horse isn't so high
