And what I meant with my statement is that UNLESS you have lived in a SMALL town (I'm talking 7000 people) that Walmart comes in and fucks up, you know nothing about the damage they can do. No, the Walmart in North Versailles is not going to destroy Pittsburgh.

Wal-Mart coexisted with the businesses in my mother's hometown just fine. It's been there since the early 80's. The population of that town today is 8,371 which is a lot higher than it was in the 80's.

^^^ Sounds a lot like my hometown, where Wal-Mart managed to keep some business in town that otherwise would have been lost to nearby towns, and where the only local businesses that closed after Wal-Mart arrived were a few other chains that were struggling long before Wal-Mart arrived.

Come to think of it, sounds like my wife's hometown, too.

Again, Walmart can only screw a town if the population allows it to happen.

If Walmart did run everyone else out of business, then the lack of competition will eventually bring in another super store to compete with Walmart, thus bringing prices back down. Assuming they're artificially high currently.

Walmart sucks because I say so.

Awww, now if you had just pulled that card up front, we all could saved our fingers lots of typing and put the carpel tunnel syndrome off for a few more minutes.

I'm okay with that.
