You're letting personal feelings about Walmart get in the way of rational thought.

Remember: If not them, Amazon certainly would have done the same.

I agree. Amazon would do the same. I am responding to all the articles that are sympathetic to Wal-Mart.

Emotions aside, it's hard to deny facts:

"Walmart employs an astounding 2.1 million people. In the United States alone, the company employs 1.4 million people. This is a staggering 1% of the U.S.'s 140 million working population."

Those jobs are not well paid compared to small businesses that used to thrive in local communities.
