The great thing is ... ( 8 months ago by squeakytoad)
The great thing is that these videos are made by jealous small independent stores. They make up just about everyone who militantly fights Walmart.
Lady, the reason your radio is cheap is because they produce them in bulk in assembly lines that maximize work output and therefore allow for things to be made in a fraction of the time.
Were that radio made as a single radio and carted all around the world alone, it would cost a lot more.
But go ahead and ... ( 8 months ago by squeakytoad)
But go ahead and over-dramatize a few incidents to make people irrationally hate Walmart anyway, despite the situation not being even half that bad, while completely ignoring all the positive things Walmart has done for the world.
Apparently, it's the only thing you guys appear good at, looking at your videos.
Walmart has really ... ( 8 months ago by missiworld)
Walmart has really hurt small town economies, though. When all local business is shut down by one store, you find the town's economy decline and less jobs placed for the community.
The reason that ... ( 8 months ago by missiworld)
The reason that people bash Walmart is because, when a Walmart moves into a town, it shuts down a lot of the local business. This causes less jobs and a decline in the town's economy. Walmart is partly to blame for the US's economical problems (besides bad politics and war gambles).
Walmart employs ... ( 8 months ago by squeakytoad)
Walmart employs millions. I don't care what the Walmart haters claim, Walmart treats their employess very well. I have several friends who work there, and they are perfectly content with the treatment they receive.
Not to mention, Walmart hires the disabled and elderly, who can't start their own private stores.
The people against ... ( 8 months ago by squeakytoad)
The people against Walmart are 90% shop owners who are jealous cause their business went under, and therefore they seek to present absurd claims without any factual basis in order to discredit Walmart.
As I said in my response to your other post, Walmart employs many people. It also helps the economy greatly, as it provides AFFORDABLE merchandise for millions of people like myself, who can't afford to pay the outrageous sums that private shop owners demand.

I'm not sure "jealousy" is the issue...
Hi, I hate Wal*Mart, and I am NOT a small business owner.
I put a lot of effort into trying to fit all the problems with Wal*Mart into the comment space, but it's impossible.
I used to shop there. I thought it was great.
After watching a couple documentaries as a skeptic, I have completely changed my mind.
I've seen both sides. I suggest everyone watch "Age of Wal*Mart" and HOPEFULLY change your mind. It might mean you have an inkling of a soul.
The video deals ... ( 5 months ago by feelytouchy67)
The video deals with more than just Wal-Mart, but with the problem of CONSUMPTION, and the many ways in which our over-consuming society is hurting other, often far less visible societies. There is an odd paradox, however, in my experience: most small, independant shop owners I know are conservative Republicans, who don't know or care about what is happening in China, Bangledesh, or the coal-rich mountains of West Virginia etc. Yet, they will be ones who will go broke first cause of Wal-Mart.
First, do you ... ( 4 months ago by s0erd)
First, do you really think that ALL THOSE walmart haters are small business owners?! Honestly?
Millions yes, but it´s still a LOT less than it would be without walmart.
Khm, how about telling me some of the great things Walmart has done for the world?

Oh my god, I'll certainly have to shoot myself in the head for being an American consumer/ mother earth rapist. Next step is to genuflect to Karl Marx, yes? Yes, she's right about many things here but she still annoys the hell out of me. I guess most people do like their facts twisted as long as its served up by a smiling hitler.
I know I'll be loved for this.
