Why Amazon is buying Whole Foods for $13.4 Billion

Law of unintended consequences: I believe Amazon will now be forced to collect state sales tax on all purchases in each and every state where they have a Whole Foods store.

(The tax has always been owed; Amazon just didn’t have to collect it in most places they didn’t have a physical bricks-and-mortar presence. And most folks conveniently forget to pay the state.)
