frontline: is wal-mart good for america? | PBS

frontline: is wal-mart good for america? | PBS

Highly reccomended watching. I'm a big fan of small local buisnesses, hence they are the lifeblood of small towns and tend to provide a higher quality of life for the surrounding areas...that and unlike a Wal-Mart, Target, or K-mart/Sears they produce an eighth of the industrial waste... the fact that it's so bad that even Southpark has gone on to create a show about it should mean something...

The fact that it, and other retailers have the strange focus specifically at the consumer has made a massive change in the way buisnesses are now tied to the fickle desires of the individual.
