re: #306 Walter L. Newton
Wow… that’s terrible… creating a need for lower priced items.
Yes, it is terrible. There’s a reason why a number of communities around the country are refusing to allow a WalMart from coming in. A WalMart is built that quickly and efficiently puts the mom and pop family businesses out of business. All those wonderful WalMart jobs that are promised are mostly.minimum wage sans benefits. Town squares are boarded up with businesses gone, no more jobs that offer living wages and voila, WalMart has a captive clientele.
As I said, great business model for WalMart. Sucks for the communities.
