No problem; just ensure no Tax Dollars from Long Island get there until a bunch of locals own their own stores and hire local people.Everybody in freaking Washington D.C. is on the federal teat. They would be unemployable in a simple job like Walmart.
Is ANYONE advocating for the residents?
Is perpetual poverty an answer for an American city?
That's why we wanted WalMart to come in, idiot.
Well, let's see. That's not a really good retail model in the current environment.
Where do you buy your groceries? I buy mine from a small chain of gourmet stores based in NY but have a few branches in the local area. I buy essentials from Harris Teeter. Oh, wait, owned by Kroger. Of course Whole Foods is a giant in our inner city. In the gentrified areas, of course.
I could buy from the Korean convenience store but their prices are higher than Harris Teeter's for the same merchandise.
Oh, and one more thing --YOUR tax dollars? Since when does someone from LI pay DC taxes?
I have addressed these issues already.
And yes, our Federal Tax Dollars go across our great nation and to other nations.
No more than my Federal tax dollars go to support liberal welfare programs on LI.
We're even.
Now explain why you think keeping jobs from DC is a good thing.
