nmChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

He's the one saying they force everyone's standard of living down. I'm correcting the fallacy.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara

We have a similar thing in the UK with smaller businesses whinging about how the bigger supermarkets are forcing them out of business and want them stopping. Alas, that is progress. Supermarkets are quite handy in the amount of stuff the stop and you can find what you are looking for as opposed to some overpriced local shop with very little variety.Originally posted by Oerdin
What really irks me is they're trying to sell this as some sort of grass rootes effort against Wal-Mart when it is clear it is being financied by companies who just don't want the price competition which these low cost discount stores would bring.
So yeah, all these smaller businesses banding together seems to be nothing more than protectionism.Speaking of Erith:

the thing i dont understand is how everyone has this black and white ideal with regards to business.
Protectionism is a market force. Government is a market force. Business must contend with market forces and I'm not crying if they dont make it."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

Youre right KrazyHorse,
I meant to say that the Government affects the free market and regulates it and is prone to be stooges of protectionism. Get used to it."I hope I get to punch you in the face one day" - MRT144, Imran Siddiqui

I thought they banned super walmarts in my city. But I guess something happened, because now we have them. The cashier's union fought long and hard, but in the end, Walmart prevailed.Comment

In my city is was fought by the unions the grocery stores cashiers are in. They make over $10 an hour. At walmart cashiers probably only make $6 an hour. Not that they should care, but if their place of business shuts downb ecause of walmart, they are out of a cushy job.Originally posted by Oerdin

I'm no Walmart fanboy, but this is a step too far.
