Begs the question, what kinds of local businesses are structurally safe from being disrupted by Amazon? Some that come to mind:
* Food - restaurants, fast food, pizza, takeout
* Social experiences - bars, cafes, arcades, comedy clubs
* Things that can't be shipped - gas stations, perishables
* Things you want right away - milk, delis, convenience stores
* Things that can't be commoditized - Copying keys
* Services - Barber shops, mechanics
Other ideas?
