You, really, cannot fathom why people would shop at Walmart?

Really? You are incapable of critically thinking about it? Unable to understand the world around you to the minimum degree necessary to understand why Walmart exists and thrives?

I highly doubt that, because I doubt you are proud of being ignorant or proud of flaunting anti-Intellectualism.

Pretending we don't know why something is, and being proud to be ignorant, is a form of self defeatism where we hand control to these companies. Who survive on data and knowledge, by denying ourselves the data and knowledge to do something about it and help others do something about it.

Fuck if I know why people would go there, I have been to a few and they never have anything I want, they obviously purchase the cheapest crap they can, and I am aware of the rush to the bottom of quality and price by killing small business.

Yes, I cannot understand why people would go there. To do so is not in their best interest. But frankly maybe it is because the people that do shop there for the most part look like they vote against their best interest and not really have much critical thought themselves.
