Walmart purposefully designs their pay structure to externalize their labor costs to taxpayers.[1] They have gladly led the way in lobbying for offshoring manufacturing jobs.[2] They do everything they can to avoid paying taxes and bust unions.[3][4]

They will burn a small town's economy to the ground so they can turn a profit selling goods produced in sweatshops and labor camps. If that's not evil, I'm not sure what would qualify.

To be clear, I was more making a point about market forces more than "walmart is evil" (although they are a ruthlessly efficient distribution system)

I know walmart is bigger, but I wonder if (when?) amazon's market cap will surpass it.

I don't know if walmart can transition if that's the endgame. Will they transition to online like netflix, or blockbuster?

They already compete with Amazon online, but I don’t know how much of their sales occurs there vs in-person
