It would be great if grassroots organizations did the same thing to those companies that come in and fuck up the economies and drop the incomes and health benefits of people in little towns like that.

Put up the same business right next door or across the street or whatever.. and whore the shit out of whatever it is the bad guys pack up and leave.

Then someone local can provide those goods or services, treat their employees right (pay more than minimum wage, and offer bonuses, healthcare etc) AND keep much more of the money within the local economy.

Long live the american dream
