I never said that at all.
In fact, they are following the business model our industry pioneered. We do not need a physical bricks and mortar location for customers to walk into, but instead we sell our products online only.
At the same time you can argue no jobs are being lost at all - Instead, jobs are moving to a different area of the industry. A grand total of 179k people work for Sears, which would be a huge loss. But 222k people work for Amazon - In fact, Amazon created 40k new jobs last year alone.
