    Wall-E does not show the poor people, btw.
    You’re looking at the ultra wealthy and the ship crew—the poor are dead.

        Considering the movie kicked off with a plant being found after 100 years of the planet being almost lifeless, probably not.

          Cannibalism could carry a species for quite a while. Maybe not multiple generations without external nutrition sources, but there had to have been many billions of people for that much trash to pile up.

      Considering Buy-n-Large is basically Wal-mart, I think you could argue that it would similarly serve poorer communities. Like any good virus, they can’t kill the host.

        Walmart does kill its hosts. Just because it takes longer than most peoples’ attention spans doesn’t erase the damage they do to towns and communities.
