Talk of Walmart as a main competitor only makes me more sure that no one will touch Amazon any time soon. They bought Jet.com for 3.3B in 2016 to try to compete

  Not sure I agree. Sure, they bungled Jet... that's fair. But WM has been extremely competitive for us. AMZ went from same day to 2 day for us around COVID and never came back. WM standard delivery is 2 days and way more reliable. Moreover, if they have items in the store, they'll just bring it to you...in an hour or so. Food, clothes, games, fishing poles, medicine, you name it. That's a huuuge advantage that AMZ just doesn't have in most places. And sadly to say, WM generally has more reputable products for widget X than Amazon, which are often just 10 rebranded knockoffs of something. I keep prime and appreciate Amazon, but to say WM isn't competing is vastly underestimating the landscape. If anything, I see WM overtaking AMZ for most typical orders.
