You loot the Walmart, it shuts down, a food desert starts, humans start to starve.

Or, gasp, big government invests some local taxpayer cash to build a grocery store that serves the community.

You know that the town existed before Walmart, right?

You know that Walmart crushed the small mom and pop shops that existed before Walmart?

You know that Walmart is a parasite?

I am aware it is a parasite.

I am also aware that after it shuts down because of crime, investors won’t be in a rush to start up another store. Leaving everybody in a small town fucked.

I am also trying to highlight that one Republican town fixed the problem by building a government owned grocery store after their dollar tree shut down.
