Walmart: From American dream to American NIGHTMARE

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Do you guys remember that movie “Where the Heart Is?” It’s all about this girl who secretly moves into the store without anyone noticing, then she gives birth in the mattress department… and again, no one notices… It stars Natalie Portman, it’s great. When I was a kid and I saw this movie, it was 100% believable to me. I mean when I think of Walmart, I think of this ridiculously *HUGE* store with everything you could possibly need. I’m talking late night tampon runs, trashbags, nail polish removers, hot Cheetos and cream cheese… if you know you know. I honestly don’t even remember a time in my life when Walmart didn’t exist. Millions of Americans depend on their low prices just to get by in this economy. Walmart is a savior to some people. Others believe it’s the reason millions of Americans are in debt. I know… plot twist. Whatever you believe… Walmart is the biggest company in the world and *everyone* has an opinion on it. So of course I had to get the tea for us. Welcome to the Dark History of WALMART! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.
