Wal Mart

[VCNetwork]

Alright so does wal-mart suck?? Or are they superior? Because 4/10 of the wealthiest Americans are affiliated with wal-mart. So when people say wal mart sucks do they mean that they are jealous of wal mart or what because it seems to me that walmart just played the game better then everyone else.

They definitely played the game better. I bet if you asked many of those companies selling to Wal-Mart if they regret the day they started, you would get the same answer out of all of them.

No one claims they're "bad at business", just unscrupulous. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Have you guys watched the High Cost of Low Prices movie. People are petitioning to stop the growth of WM and winning. Walmart in for a bigger battle than most know. All I can remember that struck me is this
If they pay everyone just enough that they stay but not enough for them to get over the poverty line, then us tax payers actually fork over $85 BILLION a year to pay the govt programs that Walmart employees use.(Food stamps, welfare) Which then closes small local shops, reducing local economy and cash flow starts to leave each town, driving housing prices down. Its pure economics. Each person in each town should say F@#$ NO to any more WM expansions. It is a pretty interesting 2 hours I would recommend it.

To think that Sam was once a small business owner, and grew to be so cut throat
