You ever fed a family on food from "Dollar Stores" which sell mostly unhealthy prepackaged and/or junk food?
Have you?
I have. From 2007 - 2008, when I hit a rather low point.
They have a frozen food section. And, I still shop at one near my house for various things. I'll even give you some pictures of it tomorrow to show you that they carry a variety of frozen and even fresh foods (like milk and eggs). No fresh veg, but most people don't eat that anyhow.
Frankly, most people on lower incomes eat...prepared foods (fast or otherwise). Lets be honest.
Myself, I don't even grocery shop anymore. I get my produce delivered, and it is fresh, and I make it fresh.
But, back to Dollar Store...Is it where I'd prefer to shop? No. But, is it an option (since walmart is EVIL), sure.
It dominates in many areas now. And It cannot be undone.
So why do you want people to go hungry now because of things people did 10, 15 or more years ago?
Ugh, I am now remembering why I had you on ignore.
I doubt you ever had me on ignore, but...if you say you did you did.
There is no reason for "wal mart hate" that I ever see, because the people who gripe about it, then do backflips to say they "can only afford to shop there".
I can count on my hand the last time I was in a walmart in the past two years. Most of it had to do with I needed something fast and they were open.
"but I live in a place where you can only get it with walmart!"
Do you think smaller towns had amazing shopping BEFORE Walmerts came to them?
Take one I know very well, Gibson, TN. LaGrange, GA, Sumter, SC, I can name others that I have lived, worked or have family in and no reasonably well.
So, what do you think it was like "before the walmart"? Yeah, people made do. And, why do you think the walmart did so well?
Well...before that, you had a few local stores, and catalogs. The Walmart tied in national product distribution networks to the smaller towns, so they didn't have to drive "30 miles" to the local shopping center/malls to find the big box stores to see all the goodies at.
Your basis for your position...is...nonsense. Feelz good nonsense, but nonsense none the less.
