Where I live, yeah, Walmart is one of the go to’s, but don’t forget your local Dollar General empire, strategically placed, closer to most people here, some of their items are cheaper and a lot people shop there for basic necessities. I live in the poorest county in one of the poorest states. I don’t blame anyone here that can only afford to go to these establishments, there is no other cheaper place to shop. And btw the more expensive grocery stores have closed up shop, do we blame them, the people who live here or Walmart.

I was a young lady. I will never forget going to Walmart for the first time. I remember all the tags that said Made In America. Before that point a lot of stuff was made in Taiwan (I don't remember anything being made in China)
We were so happy to be shopping at such a nice clean store filled to the brim with American Made products.
No that wasn't a dream, that was reality folks. Sam Walton is rolling in his grave at what Walmart has become.

For starters, the largest brick and mortar retailer in the world should not be allowed to have such a large number of employees that partake in government subsidies. Wally world's take on tax payer funds is atrocious...
