Wal-Mart is a Screaming Buy
The incessant chatter about the demise of big old evil Wal Mart has certainly been raised a notch. With yesterday’s news that Wal-Mart’s sales declined 3.5% in stores open at least a year in the month of April, we’ve seen a lot of those that disagree with its policies come out of the woodwork. Again.
Take this guy. Wal-Mart must have laid him off to get him to use such irresponsible comments and logic.
Let’s face it. Wal-Mart is the paragon of price cutting and has forced the entire retail industry to adopt to its methods of bringing the best prices to the widest swath of goods known to mankind. It’s done great things for society, is the largest employer in the United States, and continues to save billions (yes billions) of dollars for its consumers.
There’s a reason why people shop there. Not because of the fashion (that would be Target), not because of the camaraderie (that would be Amazon), but because of the savings. Pure and simple. One dollar more in my pocket, one dollar less in yours.
Is there a better deal?
That’s why I say that Wal-Mart should be allowed to register as a bank and enter into urban areas like New York City. After all, I’d like to save a penny or two as well.
Wouldn’t you?

This guy’s name is William Cormier, and no, I have never been an employee of Wal-Mart. My remarks are certainly germane - and if you’d take the time to read some of my previous articles in regard Wal-Mart, you will note that they lay-out quite articulately why Wal-Mart is a danger to our country and also poses a risk to national security.
One article on one narrow issue paints only a fragment of the picture as a whole - and the sum of the whole indicates Wal-Mart is detrimental to the economic and national security interests of our country.

[…] 2. Wal-Mart & Consumer Electronics - Wal-Mart announces that its aggressively moving into consumer electronics and that it will carry Skype products in 1,800 of its outlets. Good day for consumers, bad day for product manufacturers and competitors. As I’ve said before, Wal-Mart continues to be a screaming buy. […]
