Local stores are better in many ways, but not the ones consumers care about: price and convenience.

Yeah, and because of those 2 words, especially "convenience", we're going to burn the planet down.

Also, did you read my original comment and miss the part about Walmart and co being predatory businesses? That's why they can keep those prices so low, because they're socializing their costs to everyone else.
