You cannot just point the finger at walmart. I think the finger should directly be pointed at yourselves, me, you, the poor bastard that carved that piece of fake ivory oranamant that resides by our stands. We aren't forced to buy from these large corps/re-sellers.
Part of the blame (sure) is down to the goverment. They have no backbone. Look at microsoft when they broke laws. Billy gates blubbered like a baby when they were going to break is microsoft up but changed their minds. Sure, in the long run it's harmful to the economy (depends on which economy you refer to) Yours, yes. It's helping other less prospering countries that look to be gaining more growth at a faster rate than the usa (china for instance). Is that a bad thing? imo no. It's happening here in the uk and I can say you can certainly feel the pinch but that's not to say it's all bad we just won't be that well off than what we are used to.

Asda`s is owned by Walmart in the Uk.
I dont care if walmart own everything.Who cares if they sell it cheaper than the competition - teach them to charge so much for an item wont it.

personally, i know a lot of people who are not no-brainers and they are happy to work there... and with their "local deals rule", where they have to promote local products, there is a ton of companies which were selling small that are now in the big league because they are able to sell to the masses...

@ Shelley, your right but its a little difficult when they pray on weaknesses. LOL we are all only human. I think walmart has predatory marketing tactics.
@ lasto ...WOW LOL your missing the point and the logistics of economics. So yo think its smart for a few large companies to own the worlds economic spending? Once walmart destroys its competitors its prices go up. Its already happening. They're carrying less and less GV (great value, their store brand) and the store brands that are left..... they are going through HUGE price increases. Their store brands force competitors to lower their prices to an unfesable price then once they get this result.. they increase price of there generic or discontinue it.  This practice breaks the anti trust laws.I think todays walmart is NOTHING of the vision that Sam set out for. Did you know Walmart even tried to patent the smiley?? ROFL. Does ANYONE see what I'm trying to say here? Are they or are they not monopolizing the multiple industries and using tactics that break the antitrust laws?? --------------- Added [DATE]1233436849[/DATE] at [TIME]1233436849[/TIME] --------------- Quote:

The supermarket ads are beyond belief. LOL I have noticed that the cost has come down, I can't say the same thing about iceland (supermarket here in the uk not the country) that all the stuff I purchase has gone up, I also noticed that iceland raise their prices on a wekly basis. They sneakly put the prices up on best selling products so I just stop buying and go without. Asda has become really cheap, One shop I noticed that raised their prices on alot of their goods is nettos. I don't usually shop their for food but i have a good memory on prices what were and what prices are now.
I'm quite sure that vein on alan hansens head will explode one day doing those morrisons commericals.
