      There is no Walmart by me. I’ve been to one probably a handful of times in my life and was amazed at the size and the various products they offered. It was an overwhelming experience.

        It’s very convenient and the prices are generally very good. But that’s because they use their size to bully the manufacturers into giving them better deals.

          Exactly, also Amazon is the king of these tactics. It is also late-stage capitalism, or better put, crony capitalism. Capitalism is suppose to be about free and open trade, but these predatory tactics make it unfair for competition, especially for medium to small businesses. This is partially why we in the US are in decline…and groceries cost more than they should.

        Most of those products coming from China where they pay their lowest 50% a wage that is double what our lowest 50% get.
