Walmart is closing 154 stores in the U.S., mostly in poor, rural areas. A number of small towns will be left without a grocery store or pharmacy. The residents will often have to drive many miles to get the same service–almost always to a different Walmart!
When Walmart came, it drove local stores out of business by lowering prices. In many cases, Walmart subsidized unprofitable locations just to drive local businesses out.
But now they’re gone–and the real face of Walmart appears–greedy, voracious and intent, not on providing access to needed goods, but on amassing as much wealth as possible.
