29. Low price IS an evil thing ...
...IF it is achieved on the backs of the repressed.

The cheap junk peddled at WM is manufactured in sweat shops by people with few choices and even fewer opportunities.

And one other clarification:

All chain stores are not alike. WM's competitors, especially in the grocery industry, often provide their employees were livable wages, benefits and union protections.

If you prefer instead to support the 800-lb. gorilla that is the epitome of what's wrong with America because you can save a few pennies, go right ahead.

But stop rationalizing it by saying it's not hurting anyone because it isn't true.
