Why Is WalMart Mysteriously Shuttering Stores Nationwide For "Plumbing Issues"? (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-15/why-walmart-mysteriously-shuttering-stores-nationwide-plumbing-issues#comment-5997162)
"

10 News called the county. Officials say they have no record of any code or permit violation at the Brandon location.

And when 10 News was at the Walmart Tuesday, there were no marked septic trucks or plumbing vehicles in the lot.

"Where is everybody if they're supposed to be working on everything where are all the trucks?" asked shopper Melissa Dupuis.

10 News asked a Walmart spokesperson whether the five stores were built from the same design, whether they had the same contractor, anything to understand why all of them closed on the same day for "plumbing issues."

The only thing they have in common, the spokesperson said are the highest number of plumbing incidents."

The one shut down "near Los Angeles" is in Pico Rivera. Not exactly prime real estate any more. Check out the Google Images for "Pico Rivera":

Thx, I found a pic and a link for a WalMart in Pico Rivera. There seems to be a picket line in front of the store and an attached DemProg story about third worlders demanding this and that.

Walmart Strike: Dozens Of LA Workers Walk Off The Job In First-Ever Strike Against Retailer
"For the first time in Walmart's 50-year history, workers at multiple stores have gone on strike, even though their jobs are not protected by a labor union."

I wonder which "multiple stores"? Maybe the ones with sudden current "plumbing" problems?

On my last trip to the big box they didn't have my favorite frozen foods and had many empty shelves...... looks to me like the big elephant in the room ran out of food and is now getting skinny.

WallMart and Homeland Security...... are they now one and the same?

According to NBC News “This Snippet below is from 2010. You can see where they announce the use of Hundreds of Walmarts Across the Country:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the unusual alliance Monday on the department’s blog and in a promotional video posted to YouTube.

“Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe,” she said. “This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.””

[Publico]

The local Wally seems okay; next door at Sammy's they had one aisle that use to have chemical household products filled with pallets of the same brand genetic brand of paper towels. Also they had no free sample people passing out food yesterday, Friday. They use to have them everyday of the week. You could there for a free lunch.
