I live in fly over country.

Amazon Prime still cannot offer same day delivery.

But Walmart+ can.

As terrible as Walmart is, Amazon is a worse brand.

At this point, I'd rather direct my fund towards the ghost of Walton who during his life treated employees with respect versus a company that can only maintain profitability by treating workers terribly.

Walmart is also honestly a bit better in provenance of items, too - and returns are simple.

And if you avoid marketplace sellers they have quite a bit of everything, too.

Amazon around here uses UPS but if they stop doing that I will probably lean ever harder on Walmart.

A fly over country? Like, Greenland? And you have Walmart? I'm really curious what country are you from.

> Flyover country and flyover states are American phrases describing the parts of the contiguous United States between the East and the West Coasts. The origins of the phrases and the attitudes of their supposed users are a source of debate in American culture; the terms are often regarded as pejoratives, but are sometimes "reclaimed" and used defensively.

I've been reclaiming the phrase to mean the coastal states. Living in TX, California and New York are what I fly over to get to actually good places in Asia and Europe.

As the sibling comment defined it I will point out the term was "flyover country" not "a flyover country"
