Walmart Buys Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and AIG

A prominent newspaper based in Britain is reporting:

Narrowly averting a massive meltdown, Wall Street firms Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, along with insurer AIG, have all found a buyer. After weeks of intense negotiations and panic in the financial sector, and shortly after Lehman filed for bankruptcy, all three agreed to be bought by Walmart.

OK, I admit, it's a spoof.

But it's not far off. The Bentonville behemoth is bad for America. Buy local! Buy union!
