I'm not trying to defend these chains or anything but your initial point was implying they are like the Walmart effect where they close down other thriving businesses and then make an area worse and everything you said is more "They go into rundown areas and do the bare minimum to fleece what little money there is to be made"

Like I said, they're a symptom. Not the disease.

Thats like saying Heroin dealers are a symptom, not the disease. Yeah, ok! 👍

Uh yes, that too. They absolutely are. The current opioid crisis is 1000000% from legal pharmaceuticals originally and is now fed by a shit ton of Chinese fentanyl being cut into everything.

Heroin dealers, like shitty discount stores, are just a product of a broken society with way too much endemic poverty.
