Last I knew Amazon is destroying Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart destroys the very foundation of every economy possible. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] I haven't shopped at Wal-Mart since I watched that documentary. Wal-Mart needs to die off completely, but I am not really wanting Amazon, the greater evil, to win out and finish killing off what's left of the "Global Economy".

Walmart started the massive off shoring and cheap labor for cheap goods, Amazon just beat them at their own game. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74919280 Now I hope someone beats Amazon. For all the criticisms of Amazon, you can't blame them for outdoing Walmart. A mere 10 years ago, Walmart was the 'big, bad, but better' alternative. Now, it too has been supplanted. |

Walmart destroys smaller mom and pop shops, but when Walmart closes, people are hurting. Walmart's biggest damage was done when they first opened stores in towns. They decimated a whole generation of mom and pop small businesses. Now there are two empty decaying former walmart shopping centers and Walmart is the only store in town. Main street is decimated. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28390171 If walmart is leaving small towns.. isn't that a good thing for small mom and pop stores? It is, if they've been able to remain open. Where they haven't the community suffers as there are no options until smaller stores are able to get financing & reopen. Now community members who were employed by Walmart are driving out of the area for work & likely taking their $ to the new area of employment plus communities are saddled with the monstrotous empty buildings & parking lots that are too big for other businesses and create blight. How many small communities are able to support multiple groceries, drug stores, sporting goods, electronics, book, craft, tire, garden & clothing stores plus a Walmart SuperCenter?

Well if our govt stopped corporate welfare, businesses like these might have to actually compete with mom and pop stores again. Take away Bezos' tax advantages, use of the postal system for almost free and slave labor and what do you have? An unsustainable business, that's what. Mom and pops would come back if the playing field was altered, even modestly. |

Back stabbing MBA's, doing their best for the investor (1%) bottom line again, with little regard for the impact on the community. Walmart is going the way of K Mart, per Amazon and other online sources that provide free shipping and frequently lower prices. Communities should wake up and ban the big box stores before they even arrive. Jumpin Jack |

There are alot of other grocery stores, electronics stores, and even clothing stores. Wal-Mart is trash. Ross sells good and sometimes better quality cheap clothing.
