I don't know if we'd all be better off without Walmart. I on the other hand am going through the exercise of unwinding myself from Amazon etc., with varying degrees of difficulty: [easy] Echo devices: where the UX just keeps getting worse as well. Prime Video: now has ads as well. Washington Post: firewall so never read it Prescription drugs: I use a Walmart-branded drug plan serviced by a local Safeway. Better than Amazon directly, I suppose [moderate] Kindle: I don't really need paid ebooks vs. the library etc. but do have a Kindle library. Kindle Unlimited: library used books sales now for cheap reads. Amazon books: Barnes & Noble for shipping, so far so good. Amazon Prime: do I really need more stuff, quickly? [hard] Whole Foods: the UX of Safeway stores is surprisingly worse I find this a healthy exercise as it makes me less of an impulsive consumer. I haven't decided if Target, Walmart etc. should also be avoided.
