Thank you Walmart
It occurred to me last night.
Walmart...yep, Walmart....you know, that place where you go to buy something cheap and cheesy for a reasonable price. Everybody (well maybe not "everybody", but a lot of people around these parts really hate the store. When they try to open a new one at the base of a Mountain or in some national park amongst the Elk or next to a river where there are endangered fish, people get up in arms and start protesting and then the politicians get involved and the Walmart store is eventually built anyway. That place. You know the one I'm talking about? (spare question mark used here)
So, it occurred to me last night. Walmart is actually doing us a really big favor. It's true.
Not that they provide us was quality merchandise at a reasonable price. No not that....
What they are doing is creating giant storage bins for all the shit in the world. Every Walmart that goes up gets filled with the worlds cheap crap. The more that go up, the more cheap crap that finds it's way to the giant storage bin, easily identified, consolidated and properly inventoried.
Every Walmart that goes up makes it less likely that I'll find cheap shit somewhere else. They are hoarding it.
Thank you Walmart! Keep a fresh coat of paint on the walls will ya?
