The real parallel is Walmart, Sam Walton and Bentonville Arkansas.
Walmart corporation owns half the land in Bentonville and anybody who lives in Bentonville or Centerton, which is the bedroom community for Bentonville, either works for Walmart or knows someone who does.
When I worked at the Walmart corporate office in DGTC, they gave us an orientation, covering the company’s history and the founder and his family and all of the CEOs since, and in the most recent episode, I experienced a similar experience with my family when they came for lunch.
