Oh, sure, I remember that. The small towns are still there, with town square's that used to be full of small shops and stores, except now they're all shuttered and closed down, due to the Walmart on the edge of town. There might be a pizza place and a barber shop left, only because Walmart didn't include those in their stores.

It's trade off is it not. Consumers save big time on prices. It's the same conundrum with Amazon and the demise of the brick and mortar bookstores. If one knows what he wants to read he can do it at 50% off thru Amazon.

How would you fix the problem?
