It wouldn't surprise me if Walmart was going under given their customer base is in the lower income bracket and are losing their jobs in droves and food stamps and welfare don't quite keep Walmart in business. Obama voting upper middle class White hipsters and yuppies turn up their noses at Walmart because we lowly peasants shop there. Instead they want to brag about buying overpriced, GMO free, organic food at some trendy farmers market or whole foods. Only they can afford to not eat crap. It is like the bad old days of the Soviet Union or modern day China where only the elite eat the good food and the peasants would be stuck eating the crap not fit for pigs. |

We already know what the next year will be link since the water cycle starting with the snow melt takes a year. The snow is not there, this year they will be cutting back on food production quite a bit. Over 90% of what you see in a Subway prep table comes from CA. So CA runs out of water. Besides a food nightmare, that also means people will have to leave at some point to resettlment centers. I am in real estate and when a property loses water or power the powers that be can declare it unsafe and require you leave NOW. I've seen it with condo that die. They are always hold outs but then the sheriff cleans house. So besides the food problem, all those CA people or at least a lot of them are going to have to be moved when the taps run dry. |

Quoting: Osmium76 I found this article from Jan 2015 to be of interest and concern......Would what's happening with these Walmart stores fit into whats discussed in this article in some manner? Obviously Walmart is a huge player in corporate America, but...an Iceberg doesn't care who it sinks in the end and even an Iceberg will eventually diminish when things begin to heat up. Is Walmart truly doing what they say? Is it a plumbing issue or is it something more sinister? Are they beginning to feel the impact that has already hit so many other businesses and corporations? I don't think it is just mom and pop stores feeling the heat anymore. Many large corporations like Kellogg, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Kroger. to name but a few, have scaled back or closed down operations within the last 6-8 months. Some of the reasons given include Obamacare, shitty economy, unsustainability, disruption in production/supply, etc... Some decline to comment altogether.

Where will they move to? It looks ominous. The problem is deeper and more frightening than that: Real Potential Doom! Most of the middle and lower class families can not afford to move. Soon, they will not have jobs or be able to supply their basic needs. The State and the Feds can not afford to bail these people out or supply them basic needs for very long, Even just food and water for starters. Since most of our fresh vegetables comes from that State anyway. Relocation, forced or other wise, creates the same demands upon a economic system that is broken and can not meet those demands anymore. You can not relocate these people with out breaking the already strained economic, water and food resources in other parts of the country. So nothing can easily be done to fix this situation as it stands. The long term cure is to reduce the population(with riots or war) and to limit food and water consumption, and force relocation of remaining populations to approved zones (FEMA camps first, then off to Agenda 21 zones). To ensure "sustainable" living conditions. Did you think the "sustainable" movement was just a fad? It is a setup, a PsyOp. This opens the door to Martial law and Totalitarian Government, in order to place everyone in the whole country under severe restrictions (slavery) and to enforce those rules, (for the good of everyone, of course). No welfare or SS or medicare costs will be needed, as Obamacare or it's replacement, can ensure that only the healthy workers, continue to survive. Anyone wanting their Freedom to choose how they live and die, will be deemed Selfish and thus a threat to the survival of everyone else and a Terrorist. Thus you will be executed on sight. This is how you turn a crisis, into a 1984 type society. |
