How self-centered! I imagine that many of the crores of kiraaNa owners being uprooted also currently belong to the middle class, though not for long at this rate and with such selfish attitudes.

@kevinmathew2973 Thinking only about what you pay for without thought for what is happening behind the scenes, is cheap mentality.

@kevinmathew2973 YT appears to not want me to answer you. They deleted my reasoned response.

@SoYappy How fussed up is this thinking! Your lack of understanding of things is staggering. Are you proposing that each of the crores of independent kiraaNa owners 'go national'?

@SoYappy I am very real, but such 'eat or be eaten' logic is good only till trouble comes to ones own doorstep. Bring this logic to America, the home of Amazon, which is complaining about 'overcapacity' and cheap imports from China. Ultimately, commerce has to work for building society, not for shredding it to bits.

Ministers need to talk smarter and act sharper. Without moralizing, make policy to structure the market in a way that is equitable. There is a Lwing word that the government can adopt! - equity. Amazon and Walmart are hardly equitable.

@kevinmathew2973 you should care because none of us is an island, and we are all connected to each other as part of society. to give you an example, let us say a company says ‘let me chop of all the trees in the fores’ and I give you lumber at such prices that it will feel almost free. I am sure you wouldn’t want that because cheap in this context has a cost associated with it that is easy to visualise. Destroying established Kirana networks has a similar cost to society, and if each of us only cares about what we pay to Amazon, that is neither fair nor safe in the long run. You should look up anti-trust laws in America, if you’re not familiar with them.

@gadgetgirl2k "Time for us to shrug and let it all fall to pieces maybe" How irresponsible!

 @NSKTheRipper Let's drive across the road instead of along it and get rid of traffic police and lights. If people get into accidents, you can't blame the government.

@jaswath9378 Idiotic response. What you call 'bodies' are the government too, not just the people sitting in the parliament. Laws are created for public good and are not written in stone. They can be amended to achieve desired societal ends using all levers available to policy makers. That is, you don't need to turn into a police state to shut down gambling apps. People opposing this reasonable thinking also likely think that insisting on seatbelts is a nanny/police state.

Fascinating comments section. I am certain that Walmart and Amazon are not behind the 2-paise propaganda below that protecting kiraaNas and small businesses is somehow anti-middle class.

How incredibly self-centered! Also short-sighted.

Walmart and Amazon squeeze the last drop of blood out of small businesses - ask the small businesses in America about them. You get what you pay for, and greed for cheap goods destroys society.
