Urban Wal-Mart (Poverty with a Pretty Facade)

Urban Wal-Mart (Poverty with a Pretty Facade)

The new ‘urban’-style Wal-Mart near North Capitol and H Street, NW; the Federal City is not immune to the centralization and degradation trends affecting US grocery/home goods shopping and this is the first of several Wal-Marts planned to open in the District to suck up consumer income, destroy local businesses, and pay sub-living wages to the extent that workers will need to rely on food stamps and other government assistance to survive. Mayor Vincent Gray was instrumental in inviting Wal-Mart into the District, and this store is just another sign of his many pathetic failures to do anything of meaning for working class Washingtonians.
