Why not ? They don't sell anything but china/korea/japan stuff anyhow. Eventually there wont be anything they wont
sell, as nothings made here in our country anyhooo. Just wondering how a Walmart employee will be able to purchase
such items on their 7-9 dollar per hour pay.]]>Feb 9th 2009 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/Feb 9th 2009 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
These Walmart mouth-breathers are the same people who couldn't sock away $40 for a digital TV converter box in the past two years... You think they'll save up to get a computer that doesn't even let them play DVD movies on it?

Yes, because I feel terrible when I save money at Walmart, because the Unions say I should.]]>Feb 9th 2009 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/Feb 9th 2009 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
Walmart moves into small towns, offers lots of jobs, and then proceeds to undercut the locally-owned small business by a large margin-- Too large for the small businesses to match it. Walmart actually loses money in order to do this, but what the heck? They're a billion-dollar business, so it's no skin off their back to give stuff away at cost or less for a few months.

Because of this, the small businesses are driven out of business. They can't maintain their payroll, can't match the pricing, and so they fold. The owners and employees, if they wish to stay in town, end up working for Walmart. The town's main street becomes a row of deserted shops.

Then, after about two years, Walmart closes their store and moves out of town, citing the sinking local economy as the reason why (a condition they caused, by the way). They do NOT transfer the local townspeople's jobs to another Walmart; They simply fire them and hire a whole new crop of workers in the next town. The locals are now without jobs, without local shops, and without the economy to rebuild in the wake of Walmart's blitz.

They do this over and over. Town after town. You may be saving money, but the support of Walmart is the support of destroying small towns and suburbs, driving people to unemployment and bankruptcy, and supporting the assault on small business owners.

There's plenty of documentation out there if you choose to look at it, but that's the basis of the complaint against Walmart: Dirty business practices and no regard for the communities they force themselves upon, and then destroy.

I'll shop there when desperate, but considering that the average Walmart customer looks like they consider themselves 'readers' if they glance at the back of a cereal box, I try to avoid the place. The customers are what creeps me out about Walmart. The dregs of humanity roam those aisles. ]]>Feb 9th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
With all due respect, that comment of yours sent shivers through my body. Especially, my brain.
Have you not read anything in regards to the impact of Walmart in America ? Any clue of the impact it's
had to the free enterprise markets of our country ? Any clue to what a average worker makes and quality
of benifits ? How about quality of life of Walmart employees ? Any idea what kinda working conditions
accociates must endure to keep their positions ?

Please Sir, educate yourself about Walmart. PLEASE

I'd NEVER step a foot in one of their stores. If you research the questions I posed to you above ? I doubt you'd ever enter one again]]>Feb 9th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/]]>Feb 9th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
Is that you, Mr. Cheney? We haven't seen you in years!]]>Feb 9th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
In the real world, the issue is that Walmart is not unionized. Unions don't like that because it shows that people CAN be happy working for someone without being unionized (side note, have you ever met a union employee that was happy with their employers?). Unions also look at that large work force, and salivate over the amount of union dues that can be collected.

Long story short, the heads of the Union are usually more greedy than the Companies.

But is greed a bad thing?

No, but lying and hiding your true motives is.


And your mocking of Walmart shoppers just makes you look like an elitist tool.]]>Feb 10th 2009 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/
I was starting to buy into your argument until your last paragraph. You should have stopped while you were ahead.

The cost at a regular drug store after insurance co-pay: $45.00.

The cost at Walmart after insurance copay: 80 cents.

Wait, it would. It'd hurt Walmart's deep pockets.

You should check and see if Target and Walmart are in fact giving the same drug. Just because the prescription says benadryl doesn't mean you're actually getting it.]]>Feb 10th 2009 5:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/09/asuss-little-netbooks-go-big-box-eee-pcs-expected-in-walmart-b/Although Target and Walmart may be selling the same generic drug, Walmart (due to economies of scale) is able to negoiate a lower wholsale cost of that same drug.

ProTip: Have a clue before you degrade big evil corporations. They may not be as evil as you imagine that they are. And their shoppers just may be smarter than you.
