This is what made you realize Walmart is cancer? It wasn’t the decades of them killing local businesses, pumping Chinese made shit into our country and supporting the export of manufacturing, supporting 3rd world slave labor, underpaying and abusing their workforce, and overall lowering the quality of life in the US? You should have already been boycotting them for the past 30+ years.
They were good when founder Sam Walton was alive - that's when he pushed the 'Made in America' sourcing first and foremost. After he passed and the kids got the company, it was all China/cheapest available from then on.
I remember going into my first Wal-mart - I hadn't even heard of it, I was out of state in the Deep South and was referred there for shoestrings (of all things). It was in a re-purposed grocery store, about a 50x100 foot building with original, old, old wooden floors that creaked as you walked on them and the cashiers had to hand enter each item at checkout. (That's been a little while ago.) And the Made in America slogan was very prominent on the items in the store. That stuck out to me way back then.
Like many people here that was before I was born. I am homesick for a place and time I’ve never had the fortune to experience because it was already destroyed by the time I got here.
