Rite aid is filing for bankruptcy and closing stores. Target sold off their in store pharmacies to cvs. Most of the mom and pop pharmacy’s near me are closed or a Walgreens or cvs now and Amazon is starting to get into the game.
In a free market and with a public company model like theirs you dont make billions in profit by paying living wages and creating good work environments.

Fair enough
Free markets arent the problem. They can only get away with it if you flood the low skill labor market with immigrants that are willing to accept radically lower standards of living than the natives they are replacing. Then you jack up interest rates and try to cause a recession anytime labor has the upper hand.
