In a future society, local Walmart stores will be the local distribution partner of Amazon.
Oh sure, you might not see that in our lifetime, but think about it, each company is lacking in what the other possesses...
Amazon has every product under the sun, but those products must be shipped to people.
Walmart has less products in its local stores, but those products in those local stores are the most popular ones, and those stores are usually a short drive away, just a hop, skip and a jump -- away from the houses of most Americans.
It would make sense, for a future society, having the resources to do so, to consolidate these two ideas, these two infrastructures, into one...
While at it, why not put regional post offices and other delivery service hubs near the local Walmarts?
Oh sure, we can't do this in this day and age because separate corporations are the owners of those resources, and because there would be a whole bunch of government red tape and legal considerations, and that's if someone had the money to do it, etc., etc.
But, a future society -- could consolidate all of that infrastructure...
Make it clean, make it neat (architectural buildings) and consolidate these functions into the center of future pre-planned cities built around them...
A future society could do it...
