This is a private company doing this with their own money, not the government. It's not even close to socialism, and Wal-Mart is doing a good thing here as well. Not bad for an evil corporation.

As usual Dave you cannot articulate an argument. It's almost fun seeing you post meaningless drivel. At least some here are attempting a coherent argument, either in support of your position or not.
No support for a position, just a word as if that has any meaning without context.
It's the only word necessary and of course I would expect for you and your kind to not get it.
Wally World requires all companies that do business with them to set up a physical precence in the city of Bentonville.
They buy the Government.

Where is your proof of that? Not hearsay, not a one word answer, proof. I have done business with Wal Mart and I sure as hell do not have a physical presence in any part of Arkansas.
Also, have you been to Bentonville? I have, plenty of times. There is no way that the 1000's of companies that do business with Wal Mart have physical presences in that little city.
I live 45 minutes from there.
Interesting a newcomer to P&N with no profile.
Wal-mart shill perhaps?
They may have changed their ways now but that is exactly how Bentonville got a good majority of the businesses that are there, they were forced to set up shop there.
I have my own personal sources and of course they shall remain my personal sources.

Most of Wal-Marts big suppliers have offices in and around their headquarters.
It is considered part of the cost of doing business with Wal-Mart.
There are a lot of books and articles out there about how Wal-Mart has changed the retail world. Most of the changes are for the better, at least for consumers, but many of the changes really do hurt suppliers. The constant drive to make things cheaper really hurts a lot of suppliers, but if you are buying pickles in their stores you don?t really care if the pickle company almost went broke trying to meet Wal-Mart?s goals.

Again, you said ALL companies that do business with them. That is a LIE. Then you say maybe they have changed? Do you not know? If not, why post something you do not know?
And if Spokane WA is Bentonville I guess I could be a shill for them. But I doubt it. You didn't specify what kind of business a company had to do with them, you said all. I owned a trucking company, I have done lots of business with them. But like I said, I DO NOT have a physical presence there and never would.
Keying on one word eh Semantics smantics
You're not selling a product in the stores, you're a delivery service for crying out loud.
Thanks for playing, try again.

A delivery service for crying out loud? Is that not a real BUSINESS? Do you know how much stuff is in your posession because of a "delivery service"? Actually, can you tell me how much stuff is in your posession that wasn't ever at one time on a truck? Since it's just a "delivery service", why don't you tell me what do you just do? And complaining about America isn't a job.
Since you say Wal Mart buys the goverment, what happened in Hercules CA? Rush Township PA? Macon-Bibb County GA? Beaverton OR?
You are the one posting garbage as facts, when it is a LIE.

I am an hour and a half north of Tulsa.
I'm closer to Joplin Missouri which only takes me 45 mins to get to as well.
Yes, those are bought and paid out as well.
There are Companies that had the Interstate delivered to their gates.
Obviously this is early in it's exposure.
My bet is Wally world fired the fall guy Technician and released this news because they were going to get their butts handed to them.
This is major CYA.
3-5-2007 Wal-Mart fires worker over eavesdropping
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Monday that it has fired a Wal-Mart systems technician for recording phone conversations between the company's PR office and a newspaper reporter and for intercepting text messages without authorization.
Wal-Mart's internal investigation initially found that the technician had monitored and recorded phone conversations between Wal-Mart's public relations staffers and a reporter from The New York Times. The recordings were made over a four-month period between September 2006 and January 2006. Wal-Mart said it notified The New York Times earlier Monday.
During the investigation, the company said it discovered that, in separate instances, the same technician had intercepted text messages and pages including communications that did not involve Wal-Mart employees.
On Thursday, it said the U.S. Attorney notified Wal-Mart that his office would conduct an investigation of the pager intercepts and the recording of the phone calls.
The FBI in Washington, D.C., said the agency is reviewing the information from Wal-Mart "to determine if there was a violation of federal law and if the FBI has jurisdiction."
In addition to firing the technician, Wal-Mart said it has also taken disciplinary action against two management associates for failure to carry out their management duties.
"The company believes that these pager intercepts and the recordings of these telephone calls were wrong and has taken a number of actions to further strengthen our policies and controls," said Mona Williams a company spokeswoman in a statement.

What are you blabering about?
This is thread number II and there is plenty of commentary if you look beyond only what you want to see.
If you bothered to read my posts I posted articles where the government built the Interstate to go directly to the front gate of many companies.
I wouldn't expect it to make sense to you.
you don't seriously believe this do you? You just pretend to be stupid, right?
I wonder whats in the moonjuice you drink at your moonbat conventions?
If anything it looks like Wal-Mart is seeking people qualified to work there. You would be surprised at the number of people that simply don't know how to work, don't want to work, or are a danger to those who they work with.
Turn over isn't high in low end jobs because of abusive employers, too many just don't know how to work and are not willing to learn
Ever occur to you that the interstae system was being built 40 years before WalMart even existed?
Also ever occur to you that the interstates were designed to connect major cities? Ever occur that major cities contain major businesses?
Honestly, how do you function in society with such an ignorant worldview?
Obviously you live in a big city.
There are small towns all over America that used to have Mom & Pop stores that are long gone now because of Wal-Mart.
