i bought some camping supplies there this past summer-- great prices, all in one place, no questions asked returns, blah blah blah. they even had fishing licenses. they are also the largest retailer of organic products in the US.

on the other hand, i haven't set foot in whore foods lately-- their fucken right-wing CEO can rot in a pile of his own shit.

no, but

a) you can't ask businesses not to compete

b) beating your competition is not illegal if you use legal means to do so

c) there are antitrust laws to deal with monopolies and anticompetitive practices.

Some interesting points here. How many manufacturers have caved in to Wal-Mart's demand for cheap prices, and started making inferior products? And the less competition, the more those manufacturers will be forced to produce it for Wal-Mart. Of course a lot of manufacturing is already going to Mexico and places where they can employ cheaper labour.

I use a quiet electric mower and grass grows naturally where I live, but yeah, I know what you mean. Lawns in desert climates (and their even-more-annoying cousins, GOLF COURSES) are stupid. 2-stroke gas-powered lawn mowers are gross. There is barely any grass left in my back yard, what with all the plants. I couldn't be happier about that. In any case, that's not really the point. Just an example from a local company in my area.
Wal-Mart really does encourage shoddy merchandise in exchange for "the cheapest price" mantra, though, which ends up in a lot of waste.
