I was in Sacramento, CA when Walmart opened there. People protested and picketed it for two years. Albertsons and other groceries wanted them gone because they don't force employees to join the Retail Clerks Union. The employees weren't complaining though.

And everyone complains about all the merchandise made in China, at Walmart, at Lowe's ... well, go to any retailer and see where the lamps, lawnchairs, clothes, shoes, electronics, etc are made. I don't blame the Walmart and Lowe's, I blame the companies that sold out to Japan and China and laid off their employees. Does anyone remember when the top TV brands were Curtis Mathis, RCA, Motorola?
