I agree they are bad companies. I live in a very rural area & they are my only options other than the local grocery store that rarely has what I need. In the 90s with the help of the government Walmart put the local mom & pop stores out of business. I know people like me are only growing these empires. I don’t know what else to do. The things I need are not local. Sometimes my husband can’t even find what he needs at Lowes and we have to order on Amazon. So it’s not the consumers fault. We have an Ace hardware & there stock is limited. This change has to come from the top. The supply chain isn’t getting to our local stores. If I get on the target app the majority of the items I look at aren’t available locally. The town I shop at is divided by two counties. Between those counties that shop this town is 150,000 people. The city is run by a corrupt government. Gangs are very bad! Most people live outside the city limits. Most stores close. The mall is always empty. I can tell you when I’ve been to the mall. I know it’s empty because I see the empty parking lot. I have to drive to Raleigh if I want to shop other than my local TJ Maxx. So, crippling of America was started long before the Great Reset of 2000. I have a Dollar General a mile down the street from me & the only thing I’ll by is medicine in an emergency. Everything smells like laundry detergent. Even the ice cream. I don’t understand it. I’ve heard other people say it that live in different areas and shop at DG when out of town. It’s a shame because they are the cheapest.
