I watched South Park the other day, and guess what? Wal-Mart was their target. They didn't tell me anything I didn't know, but it was funny as hell. Here's why I'm on the fence about Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart does anything and everything possible to provide you with inexpensive commodities. It has many markets to offset any profit loss in a specific region. It devours all local markets, and leaves business owners with no choice, but to shut down and start being a wage slave. It is dangerously close to being a monopoly. Only companies that can compete will do the same things Wal-Mart is doing to control the market. In my area, (New England, U.S.A.) Stop and shop is a very big supermarket chain. They recently started selling gasoline in their parking lots. As they increase their profits, they can use the profits as capital to encompass another market.
This is the reason I support Wal-Mart. Can you guess why? Probably not. If these huge companies continue to corner the markets, lay off American workers, and exploit less fortunate nations on this planet, they will go too far. I am implying that if we give them enough rope, they will hang themselves.
All animals, including humans...will fight for their lives if they feel too oppressed. If they didn't, we would still be mired in the royal leadership and dictatorships that we have cast into the wind as time goes on. The powers that be will fight till the bitter end, so fighting them may only prolong the tyranny.
So my solution is an "all or nothing" approach. Either boycott them, or patronize them until they control everything. At that point, we can unseat them. I know you guys are with me, but it's the fear of the unknown that will hold us back.
Don't we deserve to be free from the upper hand? Did not our country fight to abolish slavery? We are slaves, until we stick together, and take care of each other...for we are the majority, silent or not.
