Yes, Amazon had already gone a long way in displacing many small businesses, but that was through consumer choice, not government mandate.
While the government has the legal right to shut down businesses for the sake of public health I believe that they made grievous mistakes in what they did and how they did it and I sent serval letters to the Governor stating as much.

Writing letters to most of government is a waste of time because they recognize it is the writer's opinion only and seen through the writers prism. If they respond it is along the lines of "thank you for your interest". Have yet to ever get a response with a position unless it is part of their campaign. We don't have the data they have so we usually are disregarded. In this case, they needed to made a blanket decision because they can't evaluate every business. Kinda like the rules made at our places of employment, that government (owners, boards of directors etc) made global decisions, they didn't go cube to cube, office to office to see how each would be impacted. Unusual times call for unusual and sometimes drastic actions. They won't please everyone
