You know who's not buying Thanksgiving dinner at Walmart?

Yeah, all the people up making decisions! None of them have been in a grocery store, they have little people who do that.
Every elected official needs to go home and stand in a food bank line! Every One! Every One needs to go to a grocery store. Cripes, none of them seem like they have an fn clue

because Wal-Mart drove out the small local stores and there's nowhere else nearby to shop. I won't set foot in a Wal-Mart but I live in a large city and I have many other options that people in small towns don't; they're stuck with Wal-Mart.

Is that the people making those decisions in government do not shop or cook for themselves. Not what store you shop at.
I remember the days of figuring what bills to pay and eating a lot of egg salad because I had almost no money.

Me and my wife are not rich but we are in a reasonable spot, some we know are not so lucky.

Trump and his crew never had that experience.
