Do you think Walmart breaks the law?

[UncoderMom]

The monopolization law that is? Seems they are taking over everything! Their latest feat, the electronics. Its no wonder large companies are going under too, like circuit city. What with walmart commercials touting same TV for hundreds less then their competitors .

I mean, dont get me wrong, 100's less is great and all that but at the cost of what? In the long run. They will end up the only company as they are driving so many out of business.

youtube wal-mart LOL

70% of their products come from china.

yup, that's the way it's going. Companies and not just large are our-sourceing to countries like china and india which means jobs in usa,uk and other prospering countries in the past years is coming to an end. Like i said, the good times have past.

And, the US government turns the other cheek instead of enforcing the law.

We are becoming drones to large corporations!

Good times have passed for now but people will catch on and get beyond tired of it and thats when a revolution starts.

It used to be America, land of the "free".

Now its America land of the appearance of free but really slaves to large corporations... They've enslaved the government too. agh!

The only reason I go to walmart if to drop off our recyclables
that store is evil, I don't shop there

they are not controling any market, they are resellers only, that is far from controling the market... Sony, Microsoft etc, they decide to sell their product there and elsewhere too... these are the companies who can control the market when they decide to sell ONLY at Walmart, something they can not do, or they would break their own rules...

i go shop at Walmart not because of the market or the control... i don't care... i buy there when i see something that fits... why pay something 10$ at "Canadian Tires" when you can have it at Walmart for 3$...

[Shelley_c]

I'd shop at walmart. If we had one.

Long Live Walmart

Its a dog eat dog world out there and at least they selling stuff cheap.I dont care if its made in sweat shops so long as its cheap im happy

Back later,off to Primark to get some cheap clothes

[Shelley_c]

LOL

Primark just opened a new store where i live, about 1 minutes walk away. They do have a cheap clothing range especially in the lingerie range.

[UncoderMom]

LOL Shelley.

When walmart is offering you that product for 3 dollars when it cost them 5 dollars just to put Canadian Tires out of business, they are breaking antitrust laws. Walmarts negotiators are cut throat sales men/women who have a HUGE impact on the over all health of the economy. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/...tml?page=0%2C1 This type of behavior buts suppliers in a bad situation and forces outsourcing.


Dont get me wrong... I to shop at walmart but I feel so dirty. LOL Walmart is not very American anymore!

Even if they are contributing to the economies instability? Less might be costing you when you shop there but your gonna need walmart when your pay check starts to shrink because of inflation in their downstream. LOL

Go to Giant Eagle, Shop 'N Save, Foodland, or any other super market and look at the price of food. Now go to Wal-Mart and look at their prices. Where would you rather buy your food?

In a Wiki about the history of Wal-Mart it read "As a typical businessman, Walton was always looking for better deals from his suppliers, and he realized that he could obtain higher sales volume by passing on the savings to his customers, instead of pocketing them."

The one thing I won't buy at Wal-Mart are clothes and that's because I'm not fond of the styles there. I prefer Pacsun.
