c'est la vie

For the better part of 20 years, that Walmart has REFUSED to sell the old building because it doesn’t want another store to move in and take its business.  Not only that but Walmart makes a profit from this building because it charges the city to use its parking lot to store massive snow piles from the snow plows and stuff. The completely empty building has electricity running 24/7 and heat because the old fire sprinkler system might freeze and cause water damage that Walmart would then have to pay to fix.

My parents are living somewhere where it is -18 degrees outside and there are rolling black outs every 3 hours because the power grid can’t support all the energy being used for heat.

But guess what? That old closed down Walmart that no one has stepped foot into for nearly 20 years? Is lit up like a goddamn Christmas tree and hasn’t lost power once because it’s considered an essential business.
