    Default Walmart

    Glad to see the media involved as long as they don't spin it for Wal Mart. Keep us posted on what is said and how it is covered. Thanks.

    What's the point Gary. No one including me is AGAINST Wal Mart. They just happen to be building over the cave I love. Why do you keep posting Pro-Wal Mart stuff? What does inflation have to do with what they are planning to do? Cindy

    No point - I just found it interesting and related to the topic.

    Personally I'm horrified by the idea of a Walmart super-whatever over the passages of any cave system. I don't think they will be adequitely responsable and protective of the cave and its environment.

    I wonder how much Walmart paid for that "study"? Wouldn't it have been good if that money had been pro-rated to provide their employees something slightly better than slave wages.

    Gotta love big business.

    It's not actually a "positive" statement. It's just a counterintuitive upside economic effect to the pervasive low price low wage phenomenon.

    To state that one supplier is SO cheap they can singlehandedly counter the effects of inflation across the nation... I don't think I would trust them to build over a sensitive ecological zone.

    Don't forget they are underpaying thier employees to such an extent they are balancing out everyone else's raises (not that that's been too hard of late).
