And for another thing, Manhattan is a small island in actual area, but I'll take it, good and bad, over the most lavish Wal-Mart regional HQ. I'd also like to compare the economic health of even the median income worker of Norway to the same of Walmart.

That racket has got to be the single most corrosive influence of the US economy since....I don't know when.
