      they won’t get a store that’ll be convenient for people living there

      They won’t have a big box store come in, starve out all of the small businesses, and force their town into indentured servitude where everyone has to work there, they’re not paid a living wage, and they can only afford to shop at the big box store, further increasing the problem in a vicious cycle?

      The horror, I tell you.

        How often do more ethical businesses swoop in to rent out the spaces formerly occupied by indentured servitude corporations? If these businesses aren’t replaced by something, what will the people formerly working there do for an income?

          Your ignorance is showing. A hell of a lot of people do live in towns where the only options are a big box store, or equally shitty dollar stores.

      I don’t know what you all wrote, but the first couple paragraphs just scream asshole.

      I think whatever responses you don’t like are more in reaction to your tone.

      Dude, I live in Indiana. We’re not exactly a crime hub. You can go into Walmarts in towns with a population of 1200 and two cops because it’s all they need and you will still find shit like shaving products and cosmetics hidden behind glass.

        *excluding Indianapolis

        Although, to be honest, the areas that I visited seemed perfectly fine.

          Sure, there are some actual high crime parts of the state, but I’m thinking towns like Spencer (Pop 2,466).

      Here’s an idea - stop planting your stores in places where crime is prominent

      But how will Americans survive without shopping?

        Doesn’t everyone everywhere need to shop unless they’re subsistence farmers that weave their own clothes?
