Oh yes, which is exactly why most merchandise Wal-Mart sells is Mada In America, and not China, right? c'mon. Let's not forget the near-slave labour wages and the devouring of all the smaller competition that actually try to sell American products made by American workers that can't compete with the cheap bulk-ordered sweatshop Chinese goods eventually leaving nothing but W-M left. Yeah, America really needs that.
Max, Would it please you if XM and WM went out of business. My wife worked at WM for a while and spoke highly of the co. They hired several disabled people at her store that wouldn't have a prayer of a job elsewhere. Once the new WM went in here several business sprang up around it that had no conection with the area before WM arrived.
You are correct that there are buseness that fold after WM arrived, but that happens sorry to say. Same thing happened when Auto Zone came to town. They put two or three small parts stores out of business.
Lots of different ways to look at it.
