There you go. Thank you for proving my point. Providers are in no position to resist WalMart. A great example of this is what WalMart did to RubberMaid. WalMart kept making demands until RubberMaid collapsed and was liquidated. (What you see in stores today labeled RubberMaid is just the name, sold off as one of the company's assets.) >Customers are free to consume Wal-Mart's offerings or take a pass and buy >elsewhere. After all the stores in the community were put out of business by WalMart? Sure.
