----------------------------------- Tony Fri Feb 11, 2005 1:42 pm NDP accuses Wal-Mart of "economic terrorism" ----------------------------------- About time.. but not for the right reasons :? The retail giant's decision to close the store will put more than 160 people out of work. How about realizing the fact that Wal-Mart is an economic black hole, sucking profitability out of all of the local retail businesses by offering products with compromised quality in bulk. But what do people care - it's cheap :roll: The only thing they don't seem to be selling yet, are aircraft engines and tactical nukes. I suspect that is only because they don't want to get bombed.

Although it does provide jobs, I would prefer lots of little smaller companies instead of huge mega-corperations. Blame it on Capatilism... ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Feb 11, 2005 11:55 pm ----------------------------------- OMG, a pro left wing topic on compsci.ca w/o me defedning it at all........how the times have chaged since the days of johns and tempy. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Feb 12, 2005 2:19 pm ----------------------------------- That, and it's the stupid unions. I absolutely hate unions. Worker protection by making everyone work as crappily as the worst employee.
