[lbo-talk] employment

[Chris Doss]

The community building argument is a dreamy utopia not worth a serious
consideration.  But the lower process argument can be attacked on the
grounds that while per-item prices are lower in Wal-mart, the marketing
power of Wal mart makes people buy more than they actually need, and
thus their total out of pocket expenses increase - hence any "savings"
suggested by the "per-item" cost approach are illusory.

A couple of years back, Wal-Mart was considering setting up shop here.

I would LOVE to see them try muscling out the local competition in Russia. 
Their execs would wind up with cement-filled boots.
