Right. All those people sat around naked and ate dirt because there wasn't
any place to shop? Of course there were places to shop. They just weren't
mega coporation marts.

Not only were there places to shop but they were owned by the same people
that lived in the community. People worked in those places. Those places
to shop bought their goods from manufacturers and farmers in other
communities. And so on and so on.

Now there's only mega corp and they buy everything you could need from
China. The wages at mega corp are so low the people that used to have
decent paying jobs and could afford to shop at local stores can only afford
to shop at mega corp and that's only because the other people in their
community help support them with food stamps and medicaid.

And now mega corp is so large and bloated they're spreading like some kind
of disease. They have put so many small stores and manufacturers out of
business they have become the only place to shop.

But they were most definitely not the only place to shop to start with. It
took concerted effort on their part to make it that way.
