    Used to be that small towns had general stores so you never had to go that far. Walmart killed them all. Pair that with a lack of walkable roads, and rural America is fucked.

      So if Walmart killed them all, but they’re too far away from a lot of people, then presumably at least those people would’ve kept the general stores in business, no?

        People just drive 15-30 minutes.

        Those without reliable transport have few options. Its not uncommon to go grocery shopping once a month here in West Virginia.

        Good luck keeping fruits and veggies around that long.
