Amazon regularly beats out the brick and mortar stores in my country who reamed us for decades before we got access to the global market.

minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·7 months agoPretty much everything was a duopoly and as the market was so small they just grew to mutually exist without need to compete. Shit most of them are all owned by the same parent companies now.
