I dont know if you guys know what all goes into putting a Wal-Mart up but my goodness theres always a fight in every city to keep it out of their city.


Do you guys have any problems with Wal-Mart?


go to Walmart facts\

they have such a bad rap but i personally see nothing wrong with the company. They are an excellent company for wifes or family members of those who live on military bases. Gives people a chance to work.

It tells why globalization is good and how protectionism is bad.

That's a really black and white view of a very complicated issue. Especially for a book that's only 100 pages..

Then read this one instead: The Commanding Heights. It's about 300-400 pages and a much more difficult and boring read but takes the same stance. It's even better because it gives historical proof. Our country's economy has been much stronger as a whole since the existence of Wal-Mart and globalization. The fact of the matter is that there have always been low paying jobs and cheap labor in this country. What industry and company it is in is just irrelevant. I seriously don't think a small local business would pay any better than a Wal-Mart. If Wal-Mart has so many problems like everyone says, then there's room for competition. Personally, I don't even shop at Wal-Mart, and I'm poor. I don't like a single thing in their store, and they don't have a thing I can't find somewhere else. I don't like their big parking lot and long lines. Same thing with Meijer's and all the other "big box" stores.
