He and his 10% discount have saved his and my family major money over the years. Walmart out to make a profit yep....Walmart evil? Well, I guess it depends on who is telling the story.
My totally biased 2 cents

Yes obviously they can afford to take on the liabilities, pay for the insurances, etc. They have huge buying power.
Part of me wonders if the world is moving more towards this monopoly concepts and if so its really sad because so many deeper levels are effected.
I'm not sure I can get into all that today. Maybe this weekend tho. Just let me leave you with this little thought...
You're children scream for fast food, you give it to them because they enjoy it. They become adults and a whole host of healthy problems arise. They have never been to a farm or seen how food is grown or processed. They become depressed human beings because of the additives and chemicals in the food they eat and no connection with the earth.
Now when Walmart has a its shelves filled with recycled products, organic and local foods, recycle area, and offers all of this at a low price? well thats a whole other story.
