When I was a kid, there was this tiny building that sat on a corner half a block away from where we lived. I mean, so small, that when they went to selling bread, donuts in stores, it sat there empty for decades. Probably not even the size of what you'd see back then for a use car lot building. I think they finally got around to tearing that, and one of two small building car lots left on this side of town in the last fifteen years. But that's how they sold baked goods back in the day, fresh, brought in every day from the bakery, unwrapped, no plastic. We used to love to go there with my mom to get donuts while she picked up bread, which, back then, she'd take home and stick in a bread box.
And all that has been stolen from us because the world needs more trillionaires,...
Really we gave it away by searching out 'the cheapest price', not caring that cheapest is rarely the best option.
We had a town near here that gave up it's prized baseball field that the whole town was soooo proud of, for a walmart.
Walmart insisted that that property was the only place they were interested in going.
I'm sure some corruption took place, it's crapitalism after all.
Walmart then drove out the mom and pop.
Mom said, 'It's your own damn fault, you shopped at walmart because it was a dime cheaper.'
Then walmart left.
Now they have none of those.
All hail, crapitalism!!
