Reply #14: Walmart is not a monopoly [View All]

In a few markets they may be the only real choice, but in most of the country there are plenty of other choices for shopping.

In fact, I can tell you in more than one market around the country, Walmart is gaining MORE competition, not less. An awful lot of Americans - yes even the Freepers - especially the freepers - are sick up to their eyeballs with Chinese everything and no American jobs. Developers are being forced to cut up their strip malls into smaller units for more Mom & Pop type places - and when the Developers do a decent job of attracting a nice variety of businesses they parking lots are packed full - even now - even in Michigan. There are places in America where Walmart sales are dropping like a rock. That would not happen if they were a monopoly.

They tried - got pretty close - but America will only put up with Bullshit for so long (longer than other country's people but we do still have a bullshit limit)
