Not shopping at Sam's Club because its parent company destroys small town America is a perfectly reasonable sociopolitical stance so I respect it. Bravo.

But if you're still shopping at Costco then you don't really care about the effects that these big box stores have on small town economies.

You're just into performative activism.

But Costco does have better working conditions so I'll give you that.

Not saying you specifically, but it drives me up the wall that the same people who complain big business bad have so much overlap with the people who champion government policy that makes it so only the big businesses that can amortize the fixed costs of doing business over absurd quantities can exist competitively.
