I grew up in a rural town - the nearest Walmart was 30 minutes away on the highway. You had to drive 2 hours over a mountain (not always passable in the winter) to get to a mall. There was definitely an element of privilege and wealth for the people who could afford to buy non Walmart clothing.

If you can afford to boycott Walmart, you are not poor. You are doing well enought to actually afford to boycott Walmart.

It’s depressing because poverty is depressing.

THANK YOU for this post. As someone who grew up poor, shopping at Walmart in a poor town, who honestly still has to shop there, I get really tired of the well-off “activists” who decry those who shop there as either people unconcerned with social issues or destitute waifs who need to be pitied.

But you DO need some degree of privileges to boycott Wal-Mart.

Read my whole post, it’s not rich versus poor thing, it’s a rural versus suburb/city thing. I mean if I was poor in the city, I would atleast have the alternative of buying something at Target or a thrift store. Your location is a privilege for you. The fact that you never had buy something at Walmart means you had…

I am from a small town. I can assure you we did not have a thrift store.

THIS. I still remember that once a year I would get to go to JC Penney’s in the town an hour away to buy new clothes for school and it was like the highlight of my life, and I felt so fancy. The rest of the time, it was all Wal-mart because it was the only place in my town and it was what we could afford.

Even now, my…

“...refuge for people who have completely and utterly given up.”

Where do you think the hand me downs were purchased from? For alternatives yes  in the summer and spring time there are garage sales. Rare if ever are they in the fall or winter. And I don’t know what small town you’re from, but it has to pretty big to support an actual thrift store, one that’s open all year at…

I don’t shop at Walmart mucheither—I live in a high density neighborhood of Houston (we exist!). However, I work in southern Louisiana on occasion where it is the only game in town, and there is just no way it can be avoided. I also think that if you look at companies that have devastated small retailers, Walmart is a…

There it is. This what I’m talking about. Comments like these sound so much like the comments you got in high school if you were caught wearing Walmart clothes. Even though it’s all your parents could afford .

a refuge for people who have completely and utterly given up.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

Can we please not promote anything related to Mama June? This woman’s boyfriend went to jail for raping her daughter, and when he got out she decided to date him again. We do not need to help her get paid by TLC by giving her more attention.

Can’t wait for Bitch Sesh and watch what crappens to recap the first episode (they are almost more fun than the actual episodes)

Drinking again, yes, and also apparently an adviser to the Trump campaign, per this Vulture interview with Carole Radziwill!

Honestly fuck whoever took a creepshot of them in a restaurant. Katie Holmes has been through enough for one fucking lifetime, let the woman enjoy a normal fucking relationship.

“I probably have the crappiest tattoo,” Shelton told Mix 106.5. “Not only in country music, but maybe the world.”

I was about to say the SAME THING! I sleep sooooo good! But I’m not tired during the day.
