Well, Walmart management did lock people in their stores and force them to work without pay. (I'm not making this up, unfortunately; it's well substantiated in court cases.) This is far short of killing fields, but it isn't cool.

And just because something doesn't kill you outright doesn't mean that it is essentially harmless. Walmart is justly famous for killing off small town business districts and wiping out local small- business entrepreneurs. And their policy of demanding the lowest possible price from their suppliers is a big factor in exporting jobs from the U.S. to China.

As a lot more people are now finding out, your chances of getting the necessities of life--including a place to sleep indoors, and medical care when you need it--are just not that good if you don't have a job or a viable small business. (OK, maybe you can make it to the emergency room if you have a medical crisis, but often it's far too late by the time you get there.)

Or it could be that you just don't know much about the history of Walmart. ********************************************************************** *** ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http:// www.cguys.org/ ** ********************************************************************** ***
