very well written.....and i've always known that wal-mart is destorying everything.....in example about 5 or 6 years ago we only had a regular peice of shyt wal-mart....and the money situation while not keeping us wealthy and letting us live a materialistic life was still surviveable.....now we have a super wal-mart...and stores just keep closing...this is a small town...and alot of times it's hard to find a decent price for anything around here and it's still hard sometimes to find what you're looking for...so everyone goes to walmart, walmart is even forcing our only mall to close...half of it is already dead we call it the dead end because there is not even one store or candy dispenser or food cart or anything over there...before then you would have had problems finding a parking space at the mall.....now i think only about 10 percent of it is filled at max durring christmas shopping season. i can't even find a job around here if i tried granted i don't have the best credientials i don't even have a ged or anything and not much work expereince but walmart will still hire someone to work for them that is not legal to the US when the application even asks if they are. i know why also and it's something you didnt' mention...they hire illegals becasue first of all alot of them aren't familiar with even what minimum wage is, second of all they can't say anything to anyone anyways becasue they know they have alooooooooot more to lose than walmart does. my predection is that walmart is going to run us into another depression. for one simple fact....they don't need or even have nearly as many employees as all the buisnesses they have closed out so that's just that many more people without jobs. walmart IS slowly collapsing the economy, sure they bring us lower prices so THOSE WHO WORK can afford to get more for their bucks, but what about all the money they're stealing all the others by putting them out of work. i totally agree walmart is death, but what keeps me going is a very old phrase....the bigger they are the harder they fall. so when they finally do go bankrupt it's either going to cause a depression or make everyone rich because of all the jobs and companys that will open back up all over us.
