"Walmart moved in to my town and the local grocer had to close shop."
When I did my cross country trip - I was amazed at how many smaller cities had this sort of situation... But taken even further - Walmart moves in and the local grocer needs to raise prices due to less volume... I can choose not to support Walmart - but it's going to squeeze my wallet.
That, plus I'm 1) not going to list all of my problems with every company I can think of and 2)I'm not so big on complaining (too much
)
I'm not saying my point applies to everything - I'm just saying that your point doesn't apply to every other business
As much as I'd like to blame government for all of this - I can't. For example, Berkeley, CA - the local gov't restricts the amount of drive through restaurants (imagine the killing they'd make if there was one right across the street from their University). As a result, a whole bunch of mom/pop restaurants are able to stay in business and live happily without big box chains eating into their market share with their $1 crap meal :/
