Somebody remind me why VLCIA’s main efforts are on bringing in big chains?Independent businesses have been found to generate between 60% and 300% more local economic activity that chain retail stores do.
Or why people are so fascinated with Olive Garden, for that matter?
Well, I suppose if you want lower wages, big box retailers are good for that.
Hm, so the ultimate big box would be a private prison: a literally captive audience paid for by captive tax dollars and hirable at the lowest possible wages.
