NO WALMART HAS BEEN THE DEATH OF SMALL RETAIL.
Now, look at the individual lives of the Walton clan....billionaire nitwits and loony leftist.
Walmart is a curse.
Praise Government from who all blessings flow!
Praise it all creatures, fear it so!
Praise it above the Heavenly Host!
Praise Government’s sons or you are toast!......................
Liberals have decided that they hate Wal Mart. It doesn’t matter what facts are presented, they will hold to their theology that Was Mart hurts workers and hurt the poor and hurt all of us by their big market share of retailing.
I am pretty sure the reason lefties hate it, is the peasants shop there and they do not want to see the peasants. I kind of dont like being in the peasants presence either as they are quite revolting, but I would not fight to keep them from having a way to get modern gadgets at good prices. Unlike democrats who always try to ruin it for everybody, I just shop there at 7AM when the peasants are sleeping

Dem Pols hate Walmart and want to get rid of it by hiking the minimum wage. Funny that’s what they want to do with McDonald’s. Amazing how the want to sink these kind of boats for the poor to get out of poverty.
—agree—Walmart has also done more to reduce medical costs ,I suspect than anything else in the last twenty years (although I don’t need most of the medications they sell at discount prices)—
I live in a smallish Montana town ~ 15,000, with 65,000 in the entire county (BTW, this county is the size of the entire state of Delaware).
Walmart has been a boost here, our Downtown is thriving and folks come from 100+ miles to shop here Instead of Billings, for example.
Walmart has hurt small retail in many places, but it has only helped us here.
Peace.
“...Walmart has also done more to reduce medical costs...”
Excellent point.
We had a diabetic cat and saved $100 a month on Walmart brand test-strips.
Over 10+ years those savings really added up.
Walmart in New York
Way way way way too redneck
City with no sleep
Peasants do annoy
Until you need something cheap
Then Walmart you shop
One small business makes way for another.
Lol! Walmarts are surrounded by satellite businesses. Walmarts are good. We shop there all the time. $3.50 for a can of raisins at Walmart vs $5.00 at Harmons. All arrogant smarmy snobs can kma.
The truth is, Walmart is a complete free market success story. Plus, love it or hate it, Walmart does help the poor and middle class purchase goods at less cost because they are highly competitive.
It is understandable the Left fights Walmart and small business at the same time. The Left has no interest in helping anyone.
Notice how the Left uses Walmart as a bogey man while sitting on its board? And at the same time they attack small business with regulation and taxes and anti-American laws? Yeah, that’d make perfect sense for someone intending to use poverty to control a population...like Marxists. The idea of Walmart is pretty good. The people who control Walmart and much of our three branches of government and the people running communist NYC- not so much.
I disagree with the headline. Bill Gates created a capitalist marketing system that pulled entire 3d world economies into the 1st world. He made possible everything that followed in the worldwide tech boom.
Bill never had the best OS, or best spreadsheet or word processor. But his pure capitalist marketing system set the path for the tech explosion. Without it Apple, RadioShack, IBM, Commodore, Nintendo had no clue how to make it boom like Bill did. Cisco, Oracle, Dell, google, Amazon, etc would be very small if not for the capitalist marketing system created by Bill Gates.
More than Walmart, he brought people from poverty into the middle class. He caused the creation of more millionaires than anyone in history.
Great deal! /sarcasm
Walmart is also responsible for importing at least $50 billion worth of goods from China annually, or roughly 15% of the total US China trade deficit give or take. Additionally Walmart and their vendor base which includes a lot of tech companies employ a significant number of H1B visa holders.
Bill Gates set software back decades and set wages back even farther. I hope he rots in hell one day.
