But at least we can buy cheap pots and pans at Wal-Mart.

You know, I have nothing against Wal-Mart being a business. . .that is what they are good at., . .but this social engineering and bean-counting nonsense is darned dumb on their part.

Most times big business is just as bad as big government. This is one of those times. Walmart got to be a great company by using technology and economy of scale to lower costs and then pass the savings to the customer. These days they are filling their aisles with no-name crap to squeeze margins. If Walmart gets worse legal services, they'll have to pass the costs on. That's no way to do business, but they'll have noone to blame but themselves.
