You alt-lefties keep telling us that anything that good happens during a Presidents first year is actually because of the previous President. So, this falls into that category, right????
Jeff Bezos? Nah he wouldn't use robots to automate all his distribution centers. He's the second richest guy in the US and an ultra liberal. He even owns his own fake news paper, the Washington Post. He's so kind he gives free stuff to all democrats.
actually you should be saying thanks internet. Other than fresh food I can't think of anything that is not cheaper and easier to get online. Last major purchase I made in a brick and mortar store was a new smart TV, that was simply because I wanted to see the picture quality in person rather than just a picture of a screen or going by subjective reviews. I would say fully 70 or 80% of our non food purchases are online now
Always funny to hear the LW opine on the US private sector, something they know nothing whatsoever about. It would be like me going to their union PR job and telling them which hired wino would do the most damage at the next astroturfed riot.
When this was happening under Obama, you alt-lefties said "brick-and-mortar stores" were a thing of the past since everyone shops online. Well, which is it? Are "brick-and-mortar stores" a thing of the past or not????
It's funny conservatives understand this one, but don't understand the decline of manufacturing jobs. Selectively rational, maybe. Still, it seems like this will make it harder for Trump to beat Obama's numbers.
The Chinese are winning the online merchandising wars. I buy most of my online stuff from Aliexpress (Alibaba), Banggood, and DHGate. Its quite amazing the range of products available. The speed of new product introduction is astonishing.
This phenomenon has nothing to do with Trump. Nobody - Republican, Democrat - can bring back these stores. No government policy can do it. Well ... unless you want to outlaw internet sales. Yeah, riiiight.
That high? You are outpacingoing me. I'm wallowing around 30% up from 20ish in 2015, might be 35+ before 2017 ends. Actually walmart.Com has moved quickly up my ladder and I'm not really thrilled that they have but it's practical and priced right. EBay is a close 2nd and u feel like at least there I'm still supporting the mom & pop along with regular Joe's How did you get that high? I'd be curious to see your primary sources.
US online retailers have moved into the international market following the Chinese establishing themselves in international markets.
no sources just a seat of the pants guess. We are retired so food is our biggest consumable expense. 70 to 80 % is probably a bit high but other than household upkeep items from the local big box home and garden store we don't need or buy that much theses days that is not substantially cheaper and has a larger selection online. I do support my local craft brewery however
I agree it is due to online, but I just read something this morning that kind of sent chills down my spine---they are redoing the credit scoring system. Basically many people with bad credit are going to see a big bump up and many people with very good credit will likely see their scores down-graded. They are going to ignore people's history of judgments and maxed out credit, and punish people with high available and unused credit as best as I can gather from the article
Under Obama, we always were hearing from the right to quit blaming the previous admin. So using conservative logic, or lack of, does that mean nothing is Obama's fault?
Wait, Obama invented the internet and is the creator of amazon? Lol, you righties are a special bunch
