How many tupperware bins of rubber dog shite that breaks after minimal use can people stuff into their 3/2 garages? This country needs to return to quality goods. Less is in fact more especially if the products actually work.
This has little to do with Amazon although Amazon gives easy access to crappy good but they also give access to quality goods.
For example, if you want handheld power tools you can buy the Chinese tools with the weird names or you can order Festool or Hilti from Amazon. If you want pliers you can get the 10 pair for $10 type deal or you can order Knipex or NWS again from Amazon.
The reality is many if not most Americans are cheap which is why Harbor Freight makes so much money. There is almost no goods that you can't find high-quality versions of but again people are cheap.

I think this Amazon economy is better than the Walmart economy that shut down mom and pops through the pre-amazon years. The way I see it is Amazon gives smaller businesses and those with new niche products a chance to sell their products. There are many products I can find on Amazon that I would never find in a brick and mortar retail store and for that reason alone I like Amazon.
Bezos makes a lot of money but what he is doing is nothing more than providing a portal for people to market and sell their products. He combined walmart and ebay.
Bezos will dominate until someone else comes in with something similar or better. It never goes on forever and eventually, even with his value today, he will likely become over leveraged and soem event will cause a collapse for him. If China craters Bezos will crater.
