Apparently in many parts of the US, with a new Walmart opening every other day, the only competition for Walmart are other Walmart stores. It's capitalism gone nuts!

I remember when I was small, my father told me "you wouldn't want all the money in the world, because then it wouldn't have any value". I immediately saw the truth in that.
