<p>Haters gun’ hate</p>
<p>Wow. Scary Daybreakers ad on the espn page. Frightening.</p>
<p>And I go to walmart occasionally. But I like target better.</p>
<p>I love Wally World n’ ALL THE TIME :)</p>

<p>Why would the fed ever step in and reduce the efficiency of the American economy? How would attacking Wal-Mart on the grounds of it destroying small businesses have any justification whatsoever and where would the incentive for government to do so even come from. Do you have any idea what creative destruction is? Should the Fed have stepped in when the assembly line became a staple of U.S. manufacturing? It essentially destroyed all small manufacturers just like you claim Wal-Mart is destroying all small business. </p>
<p>And “ethical holes” LOL. I’m guessing you’ve been spoon fed enough conventional wisdom to actually think you know what you’re talking about. I’m guessing you also wholeheartedly believe Nike is a great evil manufacturing giant. </p>
<p>I won’t even comment on your unjustified elitism, claiming that only people of lower socioeconomic backgrounds have the necessity or desire to shop at Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart goods aren’t of any less quality than your local specialized stores, in fact, Wal-Mart goods COME FROM your specialized stores. Wal-Mart is so successful because it takes advantage of economics of scale and is able to price homogeneous products at significantly lower prices while still retaining profit. </p>
<p>So please, form some sort of real argument before you attempt to vilify anything.</p>

<p>Not the fed, the FEDS. And they would have the desire to step in when something becomes monopolistic. Because winning the capitalist battle is not the same thing as optimal efficiency.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart isn’t monopolistic at all, so I don’t understand what your point is. Monopoly is not the same thing as monopolistically competitive or an oligopoly.</p>
<p>Not nationwide, but when Walmart goes in and uproots small businesses in a small town, it has pretty firm control over the labor market in that area. Part of the reason for Walmart’s success is that it has power over both suppliers and workers.</p>
<p>twice a month.
target smells like dangerous chemicals. its nasty…</p>
<p>Guys, a quick warning.</p>
<p>Walmart will NEVER be shut down unless it makes drastic changes. It has been around for a long time and the government has allowed its so called “ethical holes” to take place.</p>
