Please let me know if you're noticing these things as well.
This is a dig on Wal-Mart, sauce isn't anything in particular, just random observations over the past few weeks to couple months.
I personally believe that Wal-Mart has become so big because they (were) going to be FEMA camps. Part of the plan, was to gut Main Street America and drive Middle Class Americans into poverty. You can't subject a country with a strong middle class to a Third-World Existence.
Many businesses have access to (relatively) similar prices as Wal-Mart, they can't compete on 5-10% margins though. Walmart runs on 5-10% margins for a lot of stuff and they used to sell things cheaper than cost to get people in the door. Loss leader tactics.
Now, ask yourself, how does Wal-Mart run on such low margins? They have the same supply chain as any other corporation, they have the same manufacturers as many other corporations, they have much of the same building expenses as any other corporation. So, ask yourself, HOW does Wal-Mart run a business with the margins that they do?
I'm not even focusing on the quality issue. Yes, Wal-Mart has tended to sell a lot of shit in their stores, and the quality is far under what it used to be as we have become a "throwaway" society. This is part of the problem, but, honestly, I don't think that the price differences due to quality are as big of an influence as some of these other things I'm looking at.
Let's briefly take a look at Costco. Costco competes quite well with Wal-Mart. However, Costo is NOT in bed with the Clowns. So, they make a relatively valid comparison as they have low prices, albiet in bulk, and look at their locations. They are concentrated in major population centers throughout the United States. I haven't heard of a Rural Costco. But, there's lots of Rural Wal-Marts. Costco also pays their employees around $15.00 an hour, which is close to a fair living wage, at the same time that Wal-Mart had been paying minimum wage. Ask yourself, Why is this?
90% of Wal-Mart's employees (have) been making minimum wage. They'll move into an area, and they'll hire everyone at minimum wage and put the entirety of Main Street out of business in no more than a few months. Other expenses that Wal-Mart doesn't shoulder include health insurance (Many employees make little enough to qualify for Medicaid and food stamps from my understanding)
But, the wages of employees is a rather small expense in a large corporation that's doing millions of dollars every year in volume and business.
So we really need to look into Wal-Mart's building practices. What if the CIA was paying Wal-Mart to build "(Control) concentration camps" disguised as "Wal-Marts"? If the clowns really wanted Control Camps they'd want to have them in a very regular pattern (Wal-Marts are normally 60 miles apart) generally based on population. Put all this together with the FEMA coffins, the guillotines, and various other things, and a more complete picture begins to emerge.
I look at Wal-Mart's logo and I see the Star of David or 666. They are a Cabal Corporation from all appearances. Do they have access to nearly unlimited funds at extremely low interest rates for a very long period of time? Normal businesses don't have that kind of access- they actually have to pay a loan based on the "going" interest rate, which, has been up to 20% in the 1980's and is still 25% on credit cards, or a normal bank loan runs 5-8% if your "credit" is good.
Also, consider the fact that Wal-Mart just closed all of their Sams Clubs in Alaska, along with other stores across the United States, and raised their nationwide minimum wage to $11 an hour. $11 an hour is still pathetically low, however, it's more than many employers pay in many of the rural markets that Wal-Mart serves. Before that, "minimum wage" was the norm for Wal-Mart.
My local Wal-Mart just posted within the last month or two that they will NO LONGER price match other local businesses. I don't know if you've noticed that, but it is actually quite significant. Right now, Wal-Mart is selling grapes for $2.99 a pound, at the same time that a local grocery store is selling them for $.99 a pound.
From what I'm seeing, I think the "strings have been cut" to Wal-Mart and they're finally competing with other corporations on a relatively level footing. (Comparatively). They no longer have the access to the cash that they used to have nor do they have the leverage to pay employees minimum wage anymore. Prices there are rising, and people are going to find out that they can buy many things that Wal-Mart sells cheaper elsewhere at local stores and online. It's already happening with Amazon.
I believe that now is a great time to be opening a small business in Main Street America due to POTUS policies and the fact that many of the barriers have been removed and the strings have been cut to the puppets.
