I've been rich and I've been poor. And when you're poor, you shop at the place you can afford. Darn right I'm going to Walmart with the rest of the poor. Their shady business practices mean a better value for my time and money, and I don't have the luxury of worrying about others who are oppressed by Walmart.. I'm trying to survive my own oppression.
It's capitalism. It's Have v Have-nots. I'd rather be a Have. :) If shopping at Walmart will help me save money, making me more likely to BE a Have someday, so be it.
People who rail about corporate practices yet live in the the country that uses the most resources per person of any nation in the world really burn my toes. If you want to be productive, try mentoring someone. Try teaching kids about energy conservation. Don't pick on the poor for being poor. We will eat you.
