WALMART'S RECENT WSJ THREAT TO REDUCE OPERATIONS IF A DEMOCRAT IS ELECTED WAS TOTALLY OFF THE WALL....AND A CALL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO TAKE THEIR COUNTRY BACK FROM THE COPORATE SECTOR AND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL...
I WAS IN A SMALL TOWN WALMART THIS WEEKEND...IN A TOWN THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH OVER MANY YEARS...AND I WAS REALLY SHOCKED!!
THE WALMART WAS ALMOST PICKED CLEAN...EACH SHELF ONLY LIGHTLY STOCKED...A FEW OF ITEMS EACH...WITH BIG GAPS BETWEEN ITEMS! IT LOOKED LIKE ONE OF THOSE SOVIET ERA STORES IN RUSSIA...
THE PRODUCE SECTION WAS NEARLY EMPTY AND DRIED UP...
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN RACKS OF MERCHANDISE HAD GONE FROM 8 FEET TO 12 OR MORE FEET... ALWAYS A BAD SIGN OF "INVENTORY REDUCTION"...AND RETAIL TROUBLE...AND HARD TIMES!
I CALL THIS THE.... "WIDER AILES SYNDROME..!"
I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE...IN OTHER PLACES...AND IT'S NEVER A GOOD SIGN...!
AND WORSE OF ALL THE PLACE WAS ALMOST EMPTY OF CUSTOMERS...
ESPECIALLY IF YOU BACK OUT THE "BARN RATS"...(THE RURAL SPECIES OF URBAN "MALL RATS"!!)
AND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO...EVEN A FEW MONTHS AGO...THIS PLACE WOULD HAVE BEEN PACKED... BEFORE GAS HIT $4!!
THE TOWN I REFER TO IS ONE OF THOSE WIDELY SPREAD OUT RURAL COUNTY SEAT TOWNS....THAT ARE ABOUT 30 MILES APART...IF YOU KNOW THE TYPE... IF YOU'RE OUT WEST MAKE THAT 100 MILES APART...
BUT 30 MILES IS A LONG AND EXPENSIVE DRIVE IN THE FORD F-150 THESE DAZE!!
WITH GAS STILL NEAR $4...!!
AND DID I MENTION ALL THE FACTORY CLOSINGS...?
YEAH THAT TOO...
WALMART IS REALLY A SYMPTOM OF AMERICANS IN DECLINE....
LIKE THEIR MOTTO SAYS:
"ROLL BACK AMERICA"....
WELL WE ARE ROLLING BACKWARD FAST NOW...AND WHEN THIS STOPS IS ANYONE'S GUESS!!
