Message: [QUOTE="motometal, post: 619957, member: 24727"] nephon, what do you think of some of the tactics Walmart has used?  For example, locally when they couldn't get their way to put in a new store in an area clearly zoned for other uses, they threatend to pull out other existing stores in the area.  That's not right.  In my opinion, they use their clout as a huge company to push people (and communities) around in an immoral way. Regarding the stockholders benefiting-that's a good point, I never thought of that. As far as the jobs go, it's probably a trade off, for every job created there is probably another one lost somewhere else, actually possibly more than one considering the Wal Mart system is probably more efficient than separate smaller stores.  Other than potential stock $$$, the corporate money leaves town. Which reminds me, I need to check the air filter on my DIRT BIKE. [/QUOTE]
