Walmart didn't drive her out of business, people who chose lower prices over buying local did.
Walmart lowers prices so low for a few months until it drives local competition out of business (because they can afford to take temporary loss).
Local shops go out of business.
Walmart raises prices so now people are paying even more than they were before Walmart colonized the area.
Rinse and repeat.
Wow, that should be illegal.
“Chose”
Yes, that's what I said, no one is forcing anyone. People choose where they want to shop.
You don’t understand. Once wal-mart offers lower prices, people cannot choose anything else. They must pay those low prices. They must.
Walmart didn’t pay them enough to choose local.
I don't get it, paid who?
