In the news...Walmart is starting a big push to put Kmart,Target,ToysRus and others out of business.If that happens the prices at Wallyworld will go up up up.
Walmart's goal it seems is to be the only store in the world.

i got to wonder if the US Government is 'helping' wally-mart corner the market in america. maybe helping them with financing new stores to crush the competition. that way wal-mart is the ony thing left for the people to go to and it would be easy to fix prices, spy on people shopping there, sell us only what the government wants us to have, eliminate products they don't want us to have like firearms, tobacco, alcohol, trans fat foods, etc. think about it, it could be a golden opportunity for more governmental controls. maybe, maybe not. Resistance is futile.

Source?

Wal-Mart hasn't done anyone in, the CUSTOMERS did. They went there instead of those other places.

The town near where I live in use to have 4 grocery stores, 3 barber shops, 2 auto parts stores , and 5 hardware / lumber stores. This in a town of maybe 12-15,000. So today the surviving grocery store should be picketed for the failure of the other 3. Should the barber be boycotted for the closing of the other 2. Maybe we should publish bad press about the three sisters that operate the last hardware store for driving out the moms and pops.

Better yet how about they put in a Wal-Mart and put a real dent in our county's 18% unemployment. With the exception of the grocery store a single walmart empoly's more stockers than the rest do in total.

I think most business try to crush the competion. And the strong survive. Most small business here employ family only The few who hire out pay min. wage. and 32 hrs. a wk. max to avoid ins.Find a niche and prosper.

It's been 4-5 years since I stepped into a walmart. I prefer to help keep small shops open. And I mail order.
