In the end, it 100% completely and without at doubt totally about MONEY. We buy a store and fail, we're pissed because we lost MONEY. 'They' by the same store and are successful, we're pissed because 'they' are somehow cheating at it and couldn't possibly be doing it better than 'us' and now making MONEY at it, MONEY that we think should be 'ours' by birthright, not theirs. 'We' always gotta have some external reason to deflect our frustrations and shortcomings and project them on to 'them' to feel better about 'us' so who better to rag about than the person or persons willing to do what 'they' have to do to make MONEY, which in the end was a lot more than 'we' were willing to do? Walmart is successful because the save MONEY by hiring cheap labor and buying 'cheap shit' and selling it to 'us' for less MONEY. We complain they're putting 'us' out of work by offering low wages and selling cheap stuff, but yet 'we' support them 100% and want and need them to be successful because 'they' enable 'us' to go to a single place (we're lazy) to buy 'cheap shit' (we're not rich) and thus save us the little MONEY we do have. If 'we' had the MONEY, 'we' would think of 'them' as trash. If 'they' had the money, 'we' would think them foreigners that stole it from 'us' by taking advantage of 'us', never mind that 'they' were willing to work harder, longer, and most definitely smarter than 'us'. It's always a bitter pill to swallow when someone 'different' does it better than 'us'. In the end, as said, it always, always comes down to, and is about, MONEY.
