it tears up smaller communities because a lot of small communities are built on barter-ism. if you can spend cheap $$ on other shit, why ask your neighbor for help in exchange for something you can do for them?
they have huuge grocery stores that take in SO much food... statistically (i can't source it today, but i can find the source for you later) 1/2 of which will rot with in the store. where do they get all this surplus of food? from other countries america got to sign the free trade agreement with the chances of MAYBE POSSIBLY getting out of debt. when really theyre just pushing all of these native people off of their own land to build huge plantations. hmm... i wonder why theres so many people starving in africa??? could it maybe be because these huge plantations are forcing a select group of people to produce ONE type of crop... on export. so they can hopefully afford to bring in more food for import... when before they were producing enough food locally to sustain the people in that area.
look, man.
america fucked up big time. wal-mart may not be entirely to blame, but their makin hella bank off of this and not doing anything with their profit to make the situation better. i wonder what fraction of their profit wal-mart donates to food aid every year... oh wait. thats mostly our tax money and non-profit organizations.
awesome.
