Small Merchants Adopt 'Weird' PR Campaign

This is one of those things that makes me think that people have had their heads in the ground for years. It's obvious that big box retailers destroy local businesses. It's not their aim, but it is what they do. They're out to make a profit. I think it's a travesty that they don't acknowledge the impact that they have . . . which is basically rotting out the core of every mid-sized city in America so that we can all have low-priced crap made in 3rd world countries at a low low price. The sad thing is that that low-low price is necessary because stores like that destroyed the manufacturing jobs that allowed people to afford the more expensive goods. Shopping at big box stores is very much a "pay a little now, pay a lot latter" equation.
