Mall and brick and mortar stores paid local taxes. The loss of taxes will have to be picked up by homeowners. Internet retail has become a tough business and Amazon is getting a bigger and bigger part of it. Businesses that sell through Amazon find Amazon monitors their sales and sometimes will introduce competitive products against their platform sellers. UPS never misses a chance to raise rates and delivery will become more expensive as FedEx does whatever UPS does and offers little competition to UPS.
