Fantastic Wendover Productions video on the impact of Dollar General on rural and impoverished areas - why the phenomenon is happening and what happens next. I was surprised that they opened on Faith, South Dakota - a ~350 person town about 45 minutes where I grew up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQpUV--2Jao

While reading about the latest racially motivated mass shooting that occurred in Jacksonville, Florida, where a white supremacist gunman attacked a group of Black shoppers, I'm learning about the “Ax Handle Saturday” that took place in the same city. On August 27, 1960, Black protesters conducting a peaceful sit-in against Jim Crow laws were assaulted by members of the Ku Klux Klan. This is like peeling back layer upon layer of racism. #Jacksonville #DollarGeneral #HateCrime #WhiteSupremacy

#RyanPalmeter is the name of the Jacksonville, FL shooter who murdered three Black people at a Dollar General store before turning his gun on himself. His father reportedly is a Trump-hating Democrat. His son apparently went in the opposite direction that ended in bloodshed.

KKR took over #DollarGeneral in 2007 and embarked on a nationwide expansion campaign, using abusive preferential distributor contracts and targeting community-owned grocers to trap poor people into buying the most heavily processed, least nutritious, most profitable food available:

How is it 2023 and the Dollar General app still does not accept Apple Pay? Its stores do but not the app. Someone up-top should get on that ASAP. #DollarGeneral #ApplePay

#WallStreet loved the look of this: the #PrivateEquity giant KKR took over #DollarGeneral in 2007 and went on a acquisition and expansion bonanza. Even after KKR formally divested itself of Dollar General, the company's hit-man #MichaelMCalbert stayed on the board, rising to chairman.

The dollar store market is a duopoly. Dollar General's rival is #DollarTree, another gelatinous cube of a company that grew by absorbing many of its competitors, using Wall Street's money.

Actually, it's five posts, because Starcat is furious & for good reason. #Sephora, a worldwide leader in cutting-edge online shopping, is now making the lives of its huge #disabled & #ChronicallyIll clientele a nightmare.

(I can't enter a #DollarGeneral because I react violently to the scented candles that tend to be next to the door.)
