fences
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I noticed today that the chain link is going up around the entire area Walmart intends to build on. The YMCA was gobbled up. About 6 mom and pop stores are now enclosed in the fence. Progress.

WalMart is so big now, it's practically a chain link retailer. It seems to be gobbling up real estate and Mom&Pops everywhere!

The 6 mom and pop store in side the fence are the lucky one's they were bought out and won't end up just run out by Walmart.

Yes and they are unique businesses so they should withstand the competition. However the 2 nearby chain grocers will not.

Not to worry. Soylentmart will not be selling us anything as soon as we become the 3rd world country we are charted for. They will be buying from us and paying with batteries and rice.

It really is weird. In the town where I work, a building that used to be home to the YMCA sits empty and is literally falling down while waiting for a developer to come in and do something with the building, the location. Nothing is happening, and the shell represents a microcosm of the town. Inactivity is deteriorating Main Street, and with it...the town's vitality. Because people can't agree with what should be done with the building, the building will eventually fall into such a state of disrepair that nothing will be able to be done with it. Then they'll argue forever about what should be done next...once they stop blaming each other for why they're at that crossroad.
Meanwhile, 1238 miles away, a former YMCA that sits on beautiful piece of land with wildlife and serenity will soon sprout a big box store that screams "progress" and whispers "monopoly".
I miss being a kid.

I think the thing I hate most about "WallyWorld" is that even though I don't shop there I suport them through my tax dollars.
They pay so poorly and with such limited benefits that many employees qualify for medicaid. This savings for WallyWorld is passed on in cheap merchandise, uncaring employees (at 6.50/hour) and loss of small businesses.
(sigh)

So who is responsible for Walmart's success?

microcosm...
My students and I were brainstorming words with the prefix micro- today. That's one we left out. Thank you WI.
