Well, it was inevitable. The Occupy Wall Street movement has found its logical extension in a new "Occupy Walmart" wave that has hit the internet with its own Facebook page; and even "Don't Occupy Walmart," which takes the same position, arguing only the name.
Go ahead...Google it. You know you want to.
Lots of folks seem to have had the same idea. Consumers must take the "Occupy Wall Street" movement to the well that feeds Wall Street; and what better place to start with than Walmart?
Walmart virtually defined the economic race to the bottom in America. Now that the retail predator has strip-mined American consumers to the breaking point and pock-marked the rural countryside with its behemoth supercenters, it finds its market here leveling off somewhat, and has turned its attention elsewhere.
Like a cancer that depends for its perpetuation on unlimited growth, the economic model that Walmart's practices have engendered in American business has finally metastasized to the brink of killing the host.
"Occupy Walmart" or "Don't Occupy Walmart," the message is the same. We have it within our power as consumers to stop enabling Wall Street greed machines by denying our business to the worst offenders, among which Walmart is still #1. |
