ProfCrash makes a good point regarding labor practices, etc.
The thing is, corporations like Walmart and Amazon, despite a horribly misguided Supreme Court ruling, are NOT PEOPLE. They are corporations, which are soulless and amoral. The very concepts of good and evil do not apply to them, any more than they apply to a jaguar hunting a gazelle.
Amazon is currently at the top of the food chain, where B&N and Waterstone's used to be. Now Waterstone's is whining that they aren't the top predator anymore. Boo-frigging-hoo. They had their day, and now it's over.
Amazon's labor practices are abhorrent, as are Walmart's, as are FoxConn's (Apple's Chinese manufacturer). People don't care as long as they get their cheap goods. When people start caring, things will change. Until then, they won't.
