Lots of happy husbands after hearing that. The President is a fink. |

I am happy to see that. I wish almost all brick and mortor retial stores would go away. Online is just so much more efficticent. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Yes, much more efficient to realize you are out of shampoo and have some delivered in 5-7 business days than going out and buying some that same day. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Using that logic I guess you are hoping all the brick and mortar casinos disappear as well. We can all gamble on-line if we want. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Too broad a statement. Brick and mortar more efficient in many ways. People like to see and touch what they are buying at BBB. If you only need 1-2 items it is way more efficient to pick them up than have them delivered. Smart retailers will survive, though we do not need the amount of retail space we had by the early 2000s.

I'm confused as to why you would wish that, though. I can understand brick & mortar not being your personal preference, but why the actual desire to see them disappear? Also, online + warehousing = fewer jobs than do actual stores. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I expect technology to take jobs anyway. I’m just wondering who will be right about new jobs being created when it does. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Few people correctly predict where "new jobs" come from. New jobs come as someone starts a new business, often of a type that did not exist when the prediction was made. The President is a fink. |

You may not be familiar but same day delivery is available by Amazon and Walmart for many items. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I think the more efficient the model is the lower the prices will be because of competition. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |
