Walmart death camps? alrighty then.
The ‘ponds to hide smoke’ are retention ponds for all that nasty oil-laden, coolant-contaminated, pukie, parking lot rain and power-spray cleaning water, (and overnight camper left-overs) compliments of your ecocrazies who’ve pressured Walmart into not letting all that crap flow into the storm drains which lead to local streams where the local kiddies catch local fishies. If you want to investigate for yourself, buy a drain camera on ebay for 20bucks, and go stick one up one of the drain pipes leading into the pond. You’ll find the pipe is the feed pipe for the drains built into the parking lot.
But before you spend any money, stop and think a minute - anyone who’s ever observed the workings of a waterpipe-type smoking device (i.e., hookah) would understand that water does not block smoke or even hide it’s color or smell or taste. You knew that, but you forgot about it in the fun of conspiracy.
the pipe leads from the building and not the parking lot.
