There are a few monkey wrenches in the system though.
Walmart is not a functional business. If it had to pay Chinese workers actual Chinese workers wages and give its own workers benefits, etc. It would have to fold because it would already be losing money, the whole unfair business thing aside.
Most American could afford non-walmart. It's just cheap consumer goods. I can't think that this line of reasoning will lead to anywhere that supports any of my own points, nonetheless I think it's true.

Wally-World is evil for a couple of reasons in my book...
1. Anything I would want there is all the way at the back of the store, and I seem to be unable not to find at least a few things in between what I want and check out which I don't need but will buy. This makes what I came to get to expensive even if it's cheaper than anywhere else.
2. It's open 24 hours so no matter how many times I swear off Wal-Mart for good I always end up going back when I decide I need something at 1 a.m. Plus it's always fun to see the weirdos who shop there in the middle of the night until you realise you ARE one of the weirdos shopping there in the middle of the night... man i hate when that happens.
3. Checking out. Always takes forever. There can be hundreds of people shopping and only 2 check out people. Even when your being a late night weirdo it still takes an eternity to get your toothpaste(came for), book, tire guage, 150ft. of rope(surely I'll need it for something), grill lighter, cat toy, microwaveable bowl/storage thing, bag of reece's cups, and spare shoe laces checked out.

Evil? Surely.
At least I always get depressions and cynical thoughts whenever I enter one.
