Now apply this mentality to the run-away inflation, which is nothing more than opportunistic greedflation.

Kind of like with this Tarrif's chart, he's lying out of his ass, but it's because he is actually doing something far more complicated and useful than can be explained in a sound-byte. He wants Walmart to de-couple from China. That is what 'not raising prices' actually means. He wants them to get different suppliers.
Additionally, if people stop buying shit at Walmart, and buy more shit locally, all the better.
There are no local alternatives realistically.
Not always, it is true. But for many, there are. My local Walmart is nestled up beside, or in the same mini-mall as, a grocer, 4 clothing stores, a hardware/houseware store, a furniture store, a SECOND, different grocer, and a technology/computer store. And a dollar store.
If the walmart moved away tomorrow, all it would be, is a minor inconvenience on the grand scale of the community. They should be in business, and making money, of course, but they should be looking out for the community they operate in, ideally, as well, or those competitors hopefully will see more customers.
