'Symbiosis' is defined as -- in the non-biological sense -- as ' a cooperative relationship (as between two persons or groups).
While Dodd-Frank has provided a way for ANY savvy retailer to make money, there is ZERO indication Dodd-Frank was aimed at Walmart.
And given Walmart's right-of-center founder's leanings, there is ZERO indication Walmart either supported or influenced Dodd-Frank in any meaningful way.
Your tenuous and suspect 'linkage' -- a savvy business found a way to make money in the current financial landscape -- is clearly not intended to add to the discussion. Your thesis, based on two unsupported and untrue premises, is meant to cloud discussion and muddy waters.
You are on a Walmart bashing tear in general, and an ansel12 bashing tear in particular.
We are conservatives. We don't bash Walmart for being savvy.
You are a troll.
TArcher and his hate of my favorite grocery store seems a little extreme (lol).
One of the problems of the internet is when you are casually posting a response in what looks like a normal exchange, and then too late you realize that the stranger you just posted to is one of those wide-eyed, screaming fanatics on some weird cause, a true believer in the ONLY SINGLE TOPIC IN THE UNIVERSE, IT IS A CONSPIRACY, ALL COMMUNICATIONS WILL NOW BE SHOUTED AT YOU, YOU!!!!!!!!, A NON-BELIEVER!!!!!!YOU MAY EVEN BE PART OF THE CONSPIRACY!!!!!ABOUT THE ONE SUBJECT THAT THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE DEPENDS ON!!!!!

What were those $40 million and 411 lobbyists “aimed” at?
