Isn't this a great idea? Sears and JCPenny's are going out of business. Even if you got rid of Amazon, online shopping will eventually do overtake retail outlets.
I believe amazon sales are still lower than Walmart’s
I understand that our world is changing, but is it cause of concern when a few companies have so much power and influence? What makes the free market great is competition. The bigger companies like Amazon get the less room there is for new competitors to carve out a niche. That will hurt our economic and technological growth. It will also create more opportunity for companies to abuse near or complete monopoly status.

I agree that there is a point where a company becomes too large and too powerful. But I don't think Amazon is there yet.
I can’t really see the downside to this. It would bring in jobs and use space that’s already been built but is under utilized currently.

Seems like a good use of often abandoned malls.
All the good stores have left the malls these days.
Once they reach that point will it be too late to do something about it?

I suggest you go to your nearest small town and look up the former proprietor of the local grocery or department store.... They will be willing to tell you all about how a mega-corp can brutalize an economy.
There is a reason Walmart avoided major cities and suburbs for a long time in their expansion.
Walmart went into the locations that were the most likely to provide a good profit. Higher cost rural locations without department stores or at least chain department stores. It devastated small local stores and downtown business districts in smaller cities and towns. Then closed up smaller stores to open up larger and more distant super Centers.
Walmart wipes out Kmart, Sears and other mid to low market department stores. Amazon is hitting mid to upper level stores

LOL. So are you saying that JC Penny and Sears should get a government bailout to stop Amazon?

Amazon should be both broken up and unionized as they did to Ma Bell and Standard Oil.Amazon looks to turn malls into giant fulfillment centers: Report - Business Insider
