The Commercializing of America

I haven't bought anything in a Wal*Mart in about 10 years. I have browsed through a couple of times, but I purposely don't buy anything. I don't like the way they treat their employees, I don't like their presence sounding the death-knell for hundreds of small businesses in our communities. I don't like their over-dependence on selling cheap shit from China.

Then I saw this post over at Carolina Naturally and I followed the link to read the article.

Wal-Mart delivers at least 30% and sometimes more than 50% of the entire U.S. consumption of products. Why the monopolization of our economy should scare you.
You can find the who;e article over at AlterNet.
