Haha, yeah, it happened in my town, in the 90's Walmart came to town! Then local businesses had a harder time to compete with their lower prices. More and more franchise businesses pop up.

Right! You saw it happen too - heartbreaking. Along with big ag bringing down the farmer's own farm, then he goes into town but no longer has his main street community of businesses (a social visit as well), and is eventually, literally, forced to go to walmart. Forced into isolation, and lost independence, it's simple to understand the farmers' depression. (Of course the Clintons had much to do with spreading that persisting evil.)
