Well, how kewl is that! These folks didn't get so rich by being stupid
-- merely greedy and exploitative.

I've never set foot in one of their emporia. Overhe decades, Wal-Mart
has killed countless mom & pop local stores by forcing down prices.
And, BTW, forcing American merchants who would love to create jobs
locally, to outsource to cheap foreign countries or get struck off Wal-
Mart supplier lists.

Not to mention their discrmination against women, and the criminal
abuse of employees by forcing them to work free off the clock or get
fired.

So, thanks, but no thanks. When Wal-Mart presents credible evidence
that they have remedied these practices AND repaid what they owe staff
back into the past, I and others aware of their history might consider
patronizing them.
