Walmart has gotten too big and it uses its power to exert over us. No
one can blame Wal-Mart for being abusive afterall, it's us, the
consumers, who gave the power to them! We are irresponsible and greedy
because we want the cheapest prices! I have to admit that I am guilty
as well as I do shop occasionally at you know where! (but that's to
change from now on)
[...]
By the way, a little more about me, I am a Canadian Chinese, a
business owner (tech-related company and in no way, a supplier of
Wal-mart) and I don't own WMT stocks.
Please spread this word around, it's for our own good.
You do realize that grassroots efforts like this are basically futile
and if anything is to be done, it has to come from the top. This is
like asking people not to buy gas on Monday to protest high prices or
some oil company. It just doesn't do anything.
And as far as policies from the top are concerned, you don't have to
look much further than trade policies, business policies, and access to
the very top during the 90's which allowed Walmart to become the monster
it currently is.
Did you know that Hillary Clinton is a former lawyer for Walmart? That
she was on their board of directors for 8 years and that in 1999 15% of
the Clinton’s net worth is estimated to come from WalMart shares? Talk
about a conflict of interest!
