If it wasn’t for Walmart several things would not have happened.

1. the massive distribution Network that Walmart had in place ensured that the areas around New Orleans and throughout Louisiana who are devastated by Hurricane Katrina would have never received ample supplies or relief during the entire. That that region was under extreme duress from the destruction caused by that hurricane.

2. Many towns which happened to succumb to a blight on employment because independent businesses can not carry the load of workers that Walmart does in many areas across the country. This has caused and created jobs for able and willing workers in areas where historically independent and small business is ruled and in many cases tended to only hire within family, relatives, or friends.

As a final note, the Sam Walton business construct completely changed the business model from only using from U.S. suppliers to purchasong ALMOST exclusively from the PRC.

But the employment of workers in areas where no other work exists continues to this day, and for that I have to applaud them. Not only do the stores operate with many employees, but there’s management both local and corporate, there’s Trucking both local and Interstate, there exists major distribution Networks in play here.

And the workers are paid a livable wage if they are full time. Of course we all know that companies hire part-timers in shifts rather than full timers and save on benefit packages. But wasn’t the AHCA created to help solve that disparity? And now a Socialist/Communist solution is considered as another bandaid?

I have to ask exactly which Walmart Centers or inviting the Communist Sanders to speak? Are they major urban area Walmart’s or flyover State Walmart’s?
