The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

HC: To be honest, how does a low margin business overcome shrink and employee retention problems in a country that often no longer respects the rule of law?

You should probably ask Walmart...

"Walmart earnings: Stock rises to a record as earnings show consumer resilience."

"So far, we aren't experiencing a weaker consumer overall." CEO Doug McMillon said on the earnings call.

"Dollar General Stock Slides on Earnings. Walmart Is Eating Its Lunch."

"Because consumers are prioritizing shopping for food, dollar stores are losing market share to discount grocers, such as Walmart, which have a better assortment of products."

"Dollar store operators have somewhat lost their appeal for value and convenience as other retailers like Walmart expand their omni-channel offerings
and have more levers to keep prices low."
