Hondo, limiting Walmart does nothing to help the real reasons the lumber industry has been decimated, or where the employers have gone.

Blame big-government, labor unions, and crazy special interest groups like the enviros who have been allowed to dictate public policy. Perhaps if the lumber industry hadn’t been destroyed by the government and environmentalists, Eureka and other small communities would still be thriving and wouldn’t need a Walmart for shopping and employment.

I support the limiting of walmart. They have shut down mainstreet and manufacturing all over this country by buying slave made goods in China and selling them here. If they bought and sold some things made in Amerika, I might support them. But they are destroying Amerika and building up China. Almost nothing they sell is made in Amerika. Even paper, made from Amerika’s trees, are shipped back across the huge pacific ocean after sending the trees there.
I have family that lives in Eureka. All the paper mills have been shut down by the greens there. So now china is polluted and gets the jobs, slave wage jobs.
Go and travel thru the plains midwest. You see ghost towns, boarded up store fronts. People have to drive thru several boarded up towns to get to a walmart town.
In the early 60’s, General Motors was the biggest employer in the country. All of the people worked there were full time and stayed there for life. They enjoyed high wages and lived in the middle class.
Now, walmart is amerika’s biggest employer. Almost all of their jobs are part time (no health care). And almost no one retires from walmart. Most work a few years or less. If walmart was such a great company, why won’t people stay longer?
I am a capitalist. But what walmart is doing is not capitalism. It is bleeding amerika dry and pumping up communist China.
