WalMart Hell

I recently watched a movie called "WalMart: The High Cost of Low Price" and started a book called "The WalMart Effect".

Have you ever pulled into a WalMart parking lot and felt like you were entering a 3rd world country. Instead of landmines there are shopping carts waiting to take you out. Instead of Rebels attacking the Govt you have punks breaking into cars.

Ever notice the parking lot cameras around some WalMarts? Those aren't there to protect customers, in fact most aren't even monitored. They are there as part of the "Union Package". A security package installed to monitor and record Union activities in order to assist corporate WalMart from allowing Unions to enter their stores. They have gone so far as to maintain a private jet for their union busting lawyers to make immediate emergency flights to anywhere in the country.

WalMart is able to maintain Low prices through indirect government subsidies. That's right, you, me, and every other state and federal taxpayer subsidizes WalMart. How you might ask? By unfair hiring practices and consistent low wages in combination with little to no medical assistance packages to employees, they force their employs on to state and federal medical assistance.

Time after time, community after community, enters the blight after WalMart moves in. It isn't hard to see. WalMart replaces the private business that were in place with a single business offering cheap imports made using inhumane work practices (See China Sweatshops). The relitivly well paying jobs of the communitie shift to low paying WalMart jobs and the community enters decline. Don't believe it, start looking around the areas WalMart exists in, especially any small community that is less capable of absorbing the shock.

I will never purchase another item from WalMart.
