I have to admit I am both sides on the walmart issue.
On one side their anti-union crusade leaves a bad taste in the mouth not to mention their constant use of china made products and not even offering the same type of product from an American made source.
On the other hand tho without wal mart there would likely be many many many more people in true poverty today. Atleast with the crap you buy there you can maintain a basic standard of living and they do provide boatloads of jobs that mom and pops just cant support.
mom and pops do not need to be selling general merchandise anyway. They need to sell local made stuff.
Its a sad crappy situation but its not going to change anytime soon.
