For all you Wal Mart bashers out there, Wal Mart gave 17 million dollars, not counting what was looted out of their New Orleans stores.

The President of Walmart Corp was on one of the cable news programs last week. He said WMT has some 140+ stores in the gulf area that had some-to-significant damage from the storm.
[I think we can conclude that many of those 140+ stores were looted. That is a significant amount of merchandise.]

Wow I'm impressed that works out to less than .000000001% of their annual revenue. May as well keep the cheesy money, folks are broke down there so if they have any money, they'll have to go to WM to make it last. As Wally World in a private company, they're free to donate or not. But as a Southern base company, one would think they'd step up to the plate with a bit more vigor?

Not only that but, didn't they say that if you were currently employed at a Wal-Mart that had to close due to Katrina, you would have a job somewhere else at another Wal-Mart too?
