Walmart: Yay or Nay?

[TStoneMBD]

Is Walmart good for the American economy? Do you shop at Walmart?

Can someone who voted 'yes' to question one please offer some reasoning.

A) this belongs in politics (yet somehow I'm not really upset that you posted it here.)

B) Duke care to fill me in???? I know next to nothing about the whole walmart stuff. How is pure capitalism bad for America?

Just googled. Is this what everyone is complaining about??? If so, don't we need new laws?? I'm sure walmart isn't the only company to take advantage of this stuff.

I wasn't even talking about this stuff.

The main thing is that there are a billion reasons that Wal-Mart is a cancer on our economy, And there are very few legit arguments for it being a good thing.

"I like it because it's pretty cheap and has the stuff I want" is about the only thing it has going for it. It's really a marvel of corporate evolution. All you have to do is sucker the consumer, and you get all the money, power, and can do whatever you want.

...totally agree, Duke.

Most folks just can't get past the part that there's more to it than just.....'they have the best price'.

They are a blight on the retail economy of this country. Their business practices would make you vomit if you had to deal with them.

...It will all come out in the wash somewhere down the line......parasitc green pond scum of the worse kind.

May their management rot it hell........

And that is why it is inevitable and not even worth your time worrying about.

Pure capitalism can't work, because consumers are idiots. That's why the government steps in to control monopolies.
