is it the problem or is it the ideal?

its a difficult argument.

y'start a business and, 9 times outta 10, the sole purpose is to make money. then more money. if you're lucky, you can open a second store, or 5 more. a chain, etc. just keeps growin via supply, demand, advertising, luck and... well... business practices of varying lex luthor-like ruthlessness.

granted, walmart has taking things a bit too far (or, at least, is accused of such), by having slave laborers in foreign countries helping to keep their overhead so minimal. scenarios like that warrant all scumbag accusations they can muster.

but that aside, tho its easy to hate the big megamarts, its difficult to fault them. business is business.
