Amazon has officially surpassed Walmart as the largest company in the United States by annual revenue, marking a significant shift in the retail landscape.

This transition occurs amidst a "K-shaped economy" where discount retailers and e-commerce giants like Amazon are thriving, impacting consumer spending patterns across the US.
