So, having seen the Walmart film last night, here's some of the alleged highlights (see the word I used there, nice Mr. Lawyer? 
).
*Walmart drives out local business, destroying communities.
*Walmart pays their employees a ridiculously low wage.
*They deliberately under-staff their stores.
*They force employees to work unpaid overtime.
*They use illegal immigrants to clean their stores.
*They don't provide employees with adequate health insurance, instead suggesting that employees use state health aid plans (i.e., American tax payers pay for Walmart healthcare).
*Walmart receives huge government subsidies, for no apparent reason, that would be better spent on local schools and hospitals.
*Walmart has a major problem with crime in their parking lots, but refuses to impliment basic security patrols.
*They massively pollute the environment.
*They discriminate against women and black people.
*They do not allow unions, and will take aggressive action against any employees trying to start one.
*They have much of their merchandise made in sweat shops in China and India (employees over there work 12 hour shifts before going 'home' to live in cramped, dirty dormitories. The rent comes out of their non-existent wages).
*Walmart is owned by a billionaire family that gives virtually nothing to charity (Bill Gates, by contrast, gives nearly half his yearly earnings to charity).
...and much, much more! I'm sure that there are many other companies in America doing these kinds of things, it is just that Walmart appears to be the worst of a bad bunch.
Snow's gone! At least, it's well on the way out. Everything was beautiful and enchanting this morning, but now all has turned to slush. That's it for another year then, folks!
