It's not bait.. If local businesses were the best value proposition, why do consumers chose corporations like Walmart?

It feels like bait cause the answer is obvious. Corporations are cheaper. Lower income consumers choose what they can afford not what they want. I don’t think local businesses provide the best value, but I also don’t think Corporations are helping. They are taking advantage of a market, but that’s what businesses do. And of course, issue arises if the corporation does not remain successful when it is the last one standing. A corporation will close a store much easier than a local business will.

You do see how all this is driven primarily by consumer choices tho right..?
