Old--

I'm saying that in Maryland there are ways to save money other than shopping at Walmart. Other places in the US your story that you have to shop at Walmart in order to bequeath anything to your survivors might be credible.   In Maryland it's not.

I recently went to a Giant.   Not only did I not find what I was looking for, but the prices are horrendous. I totally agree with you there.

Giant is unionized. Many others are not. In Maryland there's plenty of choice.

If Walmart treated its workers decently, there would be no need for a union. But they don't. So Walmart is exactly where a union is needed.

But you are completely correct that you have freedom--freedom, if you wish, to shop at a store which not only is responsible for driving many US jobs overseas, but also doesn't even treat its own employees right.
