Because they don't live in Reality.  They are insulated from it for various
reasons.  Then they get all mad when Reality doesn't conform to their
Narrative.

I doubt it.  She may have inherited the fortune, but she doesn't have any
business sense.  Like most Elitists, they didn't earn their money and don't
know how to create more.

Yup.  As if I needed yet another reason to never shop at Walmart.

This was a common complaint about Walmart.
1. They come in to a town, offer prices so low that it kills most of the
businesses in town.
2. Then they raise their prices once their "competition" goes out of business.
3. Then they "consolitate" stores by building a big super-center miles from
townand close the closer stores.

I worked for a large retailer for 20 years, so I understand Retail pretty well.
But most retailers understand that they don't succeed if they destroy the
community.  Walmart never learned this.


... To our sweethearts and wives.  May they never meet!
