"Walmart comes to rural areas, extracts massive amount of money"
They "extract massive amounts of money" by providing goods that people in the area want to buy.
"and doesn't replace all the workers that were displaced."
Typical rural areas didn't have any jobs to begin with. Now they do. Granted, a Walmart job isn't the greatest one in the world, but it sure beats no job at all.
- TheAdamAndChe 9y ago> Typical rural areas didn't have any jobs to begin with. Now they do. Those rural areas had jobs before Walmart came into town. It's not like people lived without dishes or lawn mowers before Walmart was here. Demand was met with small businesses, and profits were almost always kept in the local economy. With Walmart, those profits are extracted out of the area, causing an economic drain on the area.
