I don't need to. He made a series of emotional appeals, straw men, and virtue signals to tell me that I'm being selfish.

A quick aside (sort of): Since this is the Walmart thread and all.... I didn't want this pic to go to waste. Some of you might find a good use for it.

The federal city is your mortal enemy, but city hall ain't no bargain, either.

The Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun
From the based Tanvi:
The Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun
This is the thread for you Sowell haters. Jump in here and dog-pile the DG.It has become an increasingly common story: A dollar store opens up in an economically depressed area with scarce healthy and affordable food options, sometimes with the help of local tax incentives. It advertises hard-to-beat low prices but it offers little in terms of fresh produce and nutritious items—further trapping residents in a cycle of poverty and ill-health.
. . .
Dollar stores have succeeded in part by capitalizing on a series of powerful economic and social forces—white flight, the recent recession, the so-called “retail apocalypse”—all of which have opened up gaping holes in food access. But while dollar store might not be causing these inequalities per se, they appear to be perpetuating them. The savings they claim to offer shoppers in the communities they move to makes them, in some ways, a little poorer.
. . .
As Lawrence Brown, a community health expert at Baltimore’s Morgan State University, tweeted in response to the ILSR report, dollar stores function as “subprime groceries.” And recently some local governments have started pushing back on these retailers, rejecting development at the neighborhood level or devising ordinances that seek to limit their spread in certain areas.
Such moves can be divisive—detractors point to the dire need such stores are meeting in retail-starved areas. But the rise of dollar stores represents a deeper problem, one rooted in the history of housing segregation. Addressing that issue requires questioning the host of complicated assumptions that have led to the present conditions—and the myriad ways residents in so-called food deserts have responded to them.
. . .
“Communities are standing up and raising red flags—saying it may be good in the short term, but perhaps not in the long term,” Donahue said. ”[They’re] saying, ‘Hey, is this is the only option, or can we think more creatively?’” [ ]

DG and Walmart are effects, not causes.
Decades of absurd subsidization and lack of regulation on the food industry have led to disgusting chemical soups being sold as “nutrition” to millions of Americans.
