This link to a (secret) corporate memo seems to show Wal-Mart as a cold, calculating machine that cares less about its' workers than profits.
I don't really see how that makes them a whole lot different than other corporations...
Aren't all corporations just sharks in the economic ocean? Should we be surprised at Wal-Mart's callousness toward it's long-term employees, their least profitable assets?
Are they evil, or just a cold reality of corporate America?

Yes. They are evil.
I can't begin to describe why I think they're evil, but Wal mart is evil.
If Wal-Mart is like all corporations, then all corporations are evil, but I don't think thats the case.

British, over here we call Wal-Mart ASDA...
My DVD's came from the net. I try not to spend money at ASDA.
But I'd bet money that if scratching FireFly DVD's would make ASDA/Wal-Mart money, they'd do it...
And impregnate the working one's with mind warping subliminal messages too...
How's that for a conspiracy theory?

Just a cold reality of capitalism. Ergo, capitalism is evil.

Okay, I probably deserved this, but I'm going to fight back.
Walmart is evil.
Walmart is not freemarket capitalism,
Walmart is monopolistic capitalism.
I don't support monopolistic capitalism. It might be evil. It's certainly not good. It's pretty close to totalitariam socialism, it lacks the potential check that democratic socialism might have, provided that it didn't cause a break down in the democracy, which it tends to.
Monopoly has infected our capitalist system and threatens to bring it to a neo-socialist society, where every service is totally controlled by one corporation, all of which with govt. ties. Walmart to the best of my knowledge doesn't yet work for govt. but it will, and govt. already works for it.
No, Walmart kills competition. This makes it the equivalent, back to our "capitalism is evolution" thread, walmart is the equivalent of a pandemic viral plague. Its RTL is forfeit :)
Kill it. Kill it soon and fast. Maybe torture it, send it to abu Ghraib.
