Now Ominous Amazon introduces its own currency; CIA-linked, slave-driving Amazon gobbling up the world

A comrade to me: “Take a look at this, John. This is the link to buy Amazon Coins. Right now it looks like they are for use in video games if purchased for Kindle via the Amazon App store, but clearly they have the potential to become an Amazon electronic currency. Check out the white babe they drew to represent an Amazon warrior. La Raza will be furious.  ”

John de Nugent I wrote: “Thanks for that Amazon coin item! Ominous! Some have made apocalyptic predictions that Amazon will basically, and literally, take over all retail in the Western world, outside of the equally evil Walmart.”
 Here in Ontonagon, because the NWO has mostly killed the economy of the whole UP (shipbuilding, mining and paper mills all dead), which I suspect is Agenda 21 before our very eyes (squeeze the miscegenated proles into hideous low-wage cities while Khazar billionaires own gigantic countryside plantations), we have just two serious stores left, an IGA grocery store and a Family Dollar.
(This was also exactly the same case in the town in western Pennsylvania we lived in, Apollo: an IGA and a Family Dollar, everything else boarded up..  )
For anything these stores fail to carry, one has to either drive 57 miles NE to Houghton or 61 miles SW to Ironwood. OR you just ‘go online and order it from Amazon.’ Small, dying towns all over America are now doing this.”

17 Stores That Are Getting Completely Destroyed by Amazon

Remember Borders? What about Circuit City, Tower Records, or Musicland? Those stores were all big chains back in 1995, when Amazon debuted. Now they’re all gone, due in part to pressure from the online retailer that’s upended the American retail landscape.

Jeff Bezos’ company has been blamed for killing off once-stalwart retail chains, forever changing the way we read and shop for books and squashing small businesses. And to hear some tell it, the path to total Amazon domination is just beginning. One investment firm even has a “Death by Amazon” index that tracks the stock prices of 54 retail chains they believe are most threatened by the online retailer.

Of course, Amazon isn’t always solely responsible for killing off struggling stores. Bad leadership and strategic mistakes have done as much to cripple companies, such as Sears and JCPenney, as competition from Amazon, according to some. But when a mega-retailer like Amazon gets a category in its crosshairs, companies in that space generally need to brace for impact.

As Amazon expands into even more areas of retail, from grocery stores to auto parts, the number of companies under threat is growing. If these 17 businesses can’t figure out a solution fast, they might be the next stores destroyed by Amazon.

1. Grocery stores

Amazon may only control 1% of the grocery business in the U.S., but it’s poised to take a much bigger piece of the pie, threatening both small and large supermarket chains with its recent purchase of Whole Foods. That has traditional supermarkets very worried. Amazon is entering the highly competitive U.S. grocery market just as a war is heating up between stalwarts, such as Kroger and Safeway, and expanding chains, such as Aldi and Lidl.

Kroger’s stock took a big hit after the Amazon announced it was buying Whole Foods, as did shares of Sprouts Farmers Market and Supervalu. The grocery battle could mean lower prices for U.S. consumers ” at least in the near future ” as well as a big shift in how we all shop for food, noted Quartz. Yet research suggests many people are resistant to the idea of shopping for groceries, especially perishables, online, so there might be hope for traditional supermarkets.

Traditional supermarkets aren’t the only stores feeling the heat from the Whole Foods-Amazon deal. Costcostock prices also dropped after the acquisition was announced. Investors are starting to fret that the company, which has a weak online presence, won’t be able to withstand the coming pressures, TheStreet reported. Some have even suggested the membership-only club might need to merge with Walmart to survive.

3. Target

The hits from the Whole Foods deal just keep coming. Target’s stock price also fell on the news of Amazon’s acquisition of the natural foods grocer. The big-box store is feeling pressure from both Amazon and Walmart, according to CNBC. Grocery is a big part of Target’s business, and Amazon’s push into food could hurt the chain. The Minneapolis-based retailer is rolling out a next-day delivery service for household and some grocery items in order to compete with Amazon and is also adding more exclusive apparel and other merchandise that it hopes will lure people into its stores.

4. Blue Apron

The neighborhood supermarket isn’t the only food-related business Amazon has its eye on. It’s also moving into meal-kit delivery. The company recently registered a U.S. trademark for the phrase “We do the prep. You be the chef.” The Amazon Fresh kits are already available to some customers.

The revelation that Amazon is rolling out a product similar to the one offered by Blue Apron hit the latter company hard, which shares sinking on the news. Similar companies, such as Hello Fresh, Plated, and Home Chef, could also be in trouble.

Could things get worse at Macy’s? Sales are down at the mall chain, and the retailer is shuttering stores and laying people off across the country. Amazon will over take the department store chain as the biggest online apparel retailer in the country sometime in 2017. Pressure from the online behemoth is partly to blame for the store’s struggles, according to analysts, though some of the chain’s problems are of its own making. Other department stores, such as Kohl’s and Nordstrom, aren’t faring well either.

“The most exposed to e-commerce are the department stores: They’re carrying the same merchandise, and the in-store experience isn’t spectacular. So they’re losing foot traffic, and they’re discounting heavily,” Bridget Weishaar, an analyst at Morningstar Investment Service, told Bloomberg.

6. Staples

Staples has been struggling ever since a potential merger with rival Office Depot was shot down because of antitrust concerns. The companies argued Amazon was enough of a rival in the office supplies space to justify the merger, but a judge disagreed. Now, just as predicted, Amazon’s taking a bite out of Staples business. The online retailer has been courting business-to-business customers, previously a sweet spot for Staples, Retail Dive explained. If Amazon can lure enough of those corporate customers away from Staples, it could spell big trouble for the chain.

7. Best Buy

Amazon is the second-largest consumer electronics retailer in the country after Best Buy, and it’s gunning for the top spot, according to Quartz. In June 2016, Amazon surpassed Walmart in electronics sales, putting it in second place. At the same time, Best Buy’s market share is shrinking. Sales of TVs, headphones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets at Amazon grew 28% in 2015, compared to single-digit growth at Apple and Best Buy. But the brick-and-mortar electronics store is trying to fend off its biggest competitor by improving its e-commerce offerings. And it seems to be having some success, so the end might not be nigh for this chain.
