Nope. Ruining small business is bad for capitalism. If a small business can't grow it can't possibly meet the demands of the community and Walmart nips them in the bud because they just simply compete.

Competition is a good thing in Capitalism and Walmart forces a near monopoly on it.

The reason the smaller businesses can't compete is because they can't sell as cheaply as Walmart.  Ultimately, this means that Walmart allows consumers to get more for less (if one ignores quality issues).

If the small businesses can't cut it, they need to get out of the way.

If you're telling me to roll around in shit and love it because everyone else is doing it and because you do it, then no. I am happy I am even alive at this point and I am not content with just accepting things as is. You have a terrible mentality. An analogy to your mind state: If you were a black slave back in the 1800s it seems you would just have the mentality "Just accept it, things will never get better, you'll always be a slave and I shouldn't do anything about it."

Things can always get better if people put effort so keep your bullshit to yourself, your old mind is obviously delusional.

Walmart helps no one, and the poor/stupid people that continue to shop their are fucking themselves over in the long run.  Anyone I've ever known that worked for Walmart or did business with them said they are the worst company they ever dealt with.  They squeeze companies out all the time, they really should be investigated for their business practices.  Maybe when every manufacturing job in this country goes overseas, then finally people will realize why companies like this are fucking evil.  Fuck Walmart.

Walmart isn't a monopoly, and monopolies aren't illegal.

So basically, you're just talking out of your ass.

Keep raging against human nature, young buck...You're destined for greatness.

I don't shop at Walmart because I find that the quality is much lower, and I value quality over the cheap, quick fix.  Having said that, many people love Walmart and the things they purchase there.  The consumers have clearly spoken...They prefer Walmart to mom and pop stores.

That's because consumers prefer Walmart cherries at Walmart prices.

I suspect those who shop there for the prices/convenience will disagree.

As will many of those who get paychecks from Walmart. Or their suppliers. Or the transport companies.

Cause most people in this country have shit for brains and would rather save a buck on their piece of shit TV than help out a small business. It doesn't change the fact that Walmart does much more harm than good, and participates in quasi-legal/unethical business practices.
