Amazon and Walmart are in great need of some good ol' trust busting. Well, they aren't in need of it, this society is in need of it.

Amazon and Walmart have just outright won the game. Everyone else in those spaces, and adjacent spaces, just can't compete anymore. You either do business with them or die/live on the leftover scraps.

It's really not good, there should be more opportunities for others.
