Hello Guys,
Still
watching here although the news has been relatively quiet. Filled with
a strange peace I feel I don't deserve and hope you are experiencing it
as well. I wish I could say I knew we were on the last lap but I don't.
Even so, I believe we are.
This has been on my heart to share as it has been driving me a bit crazy when I think about it.
I ask you. Where is the first place people will go in an emergency?
I
am a Canadian citizen that needed to take a Sabbatical from a
professional career and ended up working in a Walmart in Edmonton to
keep busy. Well, this is what I have noticed. Just from keeping an eye
on the customers and listening while I work,--there are a minimum of
two FEMA camps near me that are unreported. There have been so many US
soldiers in Edmonton and burbs, that they gave a statement last year in
the news about the "ANNUAL RIVER VALLEY EXERCISES" ... I can tell you I
have lived here for over 15 years and have never heard of such.
My
store is in the burbs so I can tell you that we have gone from relaxed
evenings to crazy busy. Apparently, from what I can tell, Walmart has a
contract with FEMA is what I think must be happening because the other
neighboring stores aren't remotely this busy. Plus they don't act like
Canadians. Not to be impolite, but they don't have the same boundaries
and are aggressive. I believe this is just a cultural difference. I
know we are pretty conservative.
My education and career
have been as a therapist which notes unusual behavior and behavioral
patterns. This is my summary of events, as I believe them to be.
In
the news it is claimed this past year Walmart is making less money.
They have continued to open stores here in small communities in spite of
this and skeleton staff. Walmart is essentially a giant warehouse that
can be turned into that, within hours with the removal of shelves,
complete with drains in the floors. They are pushing to have a walmart
here in every community.
I ask you once more. Where is the first
place people will go in an emergency. I believe that walmart is likely
being contracted as a sorting ground, when the powers that be finally
decide which spark is going to catch fire. (I did happen to notice
railway tracks near a number of them here. Not sure if its the same
everywhere).
I hope to not waste anyone's time.
But there have been a lot of weird things I have noticed with regards
to upper echelon decisions. In Canada Walmart isn't everywhere in
Canada, but this past year they have been opening them haphazardly
without enough staff or product and it appears crazy and very non
business effective. Like they are more interested in them being there
than making a profit. Plus, they are short on everything all the time
including medicine. It all just seems odd.
I know I am not a
brain surgeon or business major, but I do have a few letters behind my
name and common sense. I hope to just give people food for thought.
Walmart would be a perfect place to sort people. Having one in every
neighborhood would really push that along.
As such, I would say to you. Do not go to any Walmart in an emergency. I could be wrong but I don't believe so.
God Bless and God speed!
