The problem is that the Walmart "attack" does not rely on you or me shopping there, they come in to a community and under-cut all of the local businesses with imported goods which can't be effectively competed with, then the local businesses go under and they drain all of the money out of the community and send it to China and Arkansas.

A breakdown of law and order turns the economics on its head. Little mom-and-pop shops have Their Ways of dealing with the problem, but Walmart can't take any kind of action for fear of repercussions against the corp.
