All Hail Walmart

Re: All Hail Walmart

There is a difference between Walmart using eminent domain, something a small
company cannot do, and Walmart encouraging employees to go on welfare,
something small businesses can do as well. Only big biz can entice a local
government to rob the small to serve the large, but all businesses, large and
small,
similarly benefit from welfare. Indeed, Walmart is obliged to encourage
employees to
collect welfare, since their competitors do as well, and to remain competitive
at the
big biz level, all big biz must do it.

In this instance the problem is govt intervening in medicine. In the measure
this is a
market distortion, is the measure biz opportunities open up...
