NANNY STATE REGULATORS are banning dollar stores to protect big business.

They're idiots. There's a Dollar General near me which I use often for small items that I can't find in 'big box' stores, groceries that I can buy at the upscale grocery store to which I have to drive an additional 15 miles, and other items that I can buy more cheaply there than elsewhere.

To top it off, the employees are usually much friendlier....
