Agree. Prior to Walmart coming to town there was Kmart, Ames, Zayres and a whole other bunch of discount type places, plus Sears, Wards, Penneys, etc. Back when a Monkey Wards store was coming to town everyone said, "Oh no! That'll kill off all the mom and pops!!!" Same thing for Walmart, Lowes, etc. What actually killed off the mom and pops was an inability to change. They were used to being the only game in town and if they didn't have it, too bad. The local lumber yards are still in business and undercutting Lowes. The stores selling the same Chinese garbage as Walmart are still in business. Sears is still going somehow. The clothing stores that used to be mom and pops got bought out by bigger stores and no one heard mom and pop complain about that. We had a great hardware that got more and more into high end sports clothing. Then they tried to expand from 1 to 4 stores and to carry mostly clothes. Nope, couldn't make it. Too bad too because it was a great hardware. Our last local tractor dealership died out not because TSC came to town but because the owner died and the son had zero interest in the store. He sure does love selling all the stuff on Ebay though!
Times change. I won't use Amazon unless I can't possibly find what I need elsewhere. I have no interest in supporting Bezos. So I'm like everyone, I pick and choose.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
