Online retailers like Amazon apparently are clobbering in-store retailers like Walmart:

It all makes sense. Walmart has lots of employees (associates?) who even with help from Congress still cost more than the robots Amazon uses and/or will use in its warehouses.
Q: Once all the $15 per hour jobs are gone, just who is going to be doing all this online shopping?
A: The one percent. The rest of us will be starving in the dark, dodging beanbag rounds and taser darts fired at us by eager policemen.
