And Now They're Whining That There Aren't Enough Wal-Marts
Weren't Wal-Marts supposed to be some sort of discount-distrubutor Death Stars or somethin'?
This article now begins whining that in some areas of the country, there just aren't enough supercenter-style markets, creating "food deserts."
Underserved by the evil Wal-Mart empire, rural (and often urban) shoppers are then gouged by mom and pop stores (wait-- weren't they supposed to be the good guys last time we heard?).
These guys really need to get their stories straight.
Thanks to Rich.
Not-So-Self-Serving Update! Wow. This blog's got some wicked buzz.
Now the comments are getting quoted and linked.
Nice, MeTooThen! It's pretty good to get link without a blog.
