How is it unfair? They have a better business model. Aside from Trump’s tax breaks, what isn’t fair, exactly?

You might not like the idea, but I don’t think anything is unfair about the situation. Netflix put Block Buster out of business, is that unfair?
The best department stores and even smaller stores that people have loved for many decades are going out of business because people are shopping at Amazon and others.
Abdvyes, we lived to rent movies at Blockbuster
I think it’s unfair.
What is unfair, though? That’s what I’m asking. You don’t like that brick and mortar stores are going under, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t “fair.” It’s a shame, maybe

Saying it’s unfair implies that one company has some benefit that the other doesn’t. Having a better business isn’t unfair, it’s perfectly fair and one company just did a better job.

So what isn’t “fair” about the situation?
🙄
I’m unhappy about it and many many other people are too .
Is that okay ?
I will no longer use the word “ unfair “

You should use it, but maybe start making a practice of using words according to their meaning...
