Don’t forget Wal-Mart…

I have avoided WalMart since the early 1990s when I saw what those stores did to small communities - destroyed them. I used to travel all over Texas then and saw small town after small town boarded up. Every time there was a big ol’ WalMart just outside of town. Talking to the town’s people, I heard the same story every time. As soon as the WalMart moved in, promising new jobs and prosperity, it put all of the family businesses out, replacing livelihoods with minimum wage. I grew to hate that company immensely.
