In my mind. Walmart has done more to damage the economy than the federal government did. Walmart made going offshore legitimate. So now everyone does it.
I have been saying this for many years.
Long ago, i had the privelege of being on Student council, and where i went to School. The School owned all the land, and leased it out to people in 99 year lots. Anyway, i voted against allowing Walmart in, a few years after i left, they were in though.

And of course many of the cool stores that people used to love are now gone.
