In reply to the discussion: 'There Should Be a March on Washington for All of Us Over 60 Who Will Never Get a Job Again' [View all]Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)74. Personally, I hate Wal-Mart.
I would never set foot in any of their stores if possible. I go to Wal-Mart for one thing and one thing only and that is insulin and hypodermics for our two diabetic dogs. Their insulin is about 1/3 the cost of getting it anywhere else and their hypodermics are about 1/2 the cost. Other than that I won't go to Wal-Mart for anything.
We shopped around and even our pharmacy told us to go to Wal-Mart. They evidently buy their insulin by the tank car load and it works just fine for the dogs. When you are on a fixed income, the difference between $75.00 and $25.00 a bottle for insulin and $40.00 for a box of syringes and $22.00 a box every three weeks is significant. But that's it. I won't buy anything else there.

Blaming an entire generation for today's problems is soooo wrong headed.

Not only that but they cooed and marveled at the cheap goods from China.

If there is literally no other store within fifty miles or so, then I'd understand.

Good idea! It should be Sanders/Clinton supporters, Indys, Repubs. Everyone should be involved.
