Walmart is opening its first store in Chicago. Approved by the city council. Why did they approve it? Because the majority felt it is going to be a net positive for the comminity.

The top ten retail stores are:

1. Walmart
2. Home Depot
3. Kroger
4. Target
5. Costco
6. sears
7. Safeway
8. Albertsons
9. Walgreens
10. Lowes

Walmart had 8 times the sales volume as Lowes in 2003 and 4 times the sales volume as Home Depot. Walmart is a monster retailer. Walmart competes with each retailer on the top 10 list, I am sure they help perpetuate the "Walmart is bad" myth, because it is to their advantage. Don't you agree? Or, do you think they are not willing to do everything in their power to de-throne Walmart?

I have not seen any evidence that Walmart's compliance issues on a porportional level are any different than the other top ten retailers. I wonder why?

Walmart is in a war against unionization. The Unions want to gain a foothold at Walmart more than a male teenage virgin want to get into the pants of any breathing female. Perhaps there is a propaganda war being fought by the Unions - do you think thats possible?

What happened to dc_dux, after calling be delusional, intellectually dishonest and wrong, wrong, wrong, I would think he would respond to data from an outside source that supported my argument. Just when it was getting to be fun, he leaves.
