I’m usually totally against huge corporations on principle, but there’s definitely one that I can’t criticise and maybe even like, Even though I don’t buy any of their products.

    Costco bulldozed a poor black neighborhood in my city, despite protests at city hall. They have been dead to me since. They’ve done some good for sure but they are materially wiping people’s lives and history off the map just like any other corporate entity hell bent on growth.

    We talk about the sins of the past often, but excuse the ones in the present with such ease.

      Wait, are you saying the city used eminent domain to seize houses of black homeowners which were then bulldozed just to put up a Costco?
