Plenty of facts have been posted here and given on any (real) news
channel you want to name. Those who are inclined not to believe them
will never believe it no matter how many facts are on the table and no
matter how much data backs up what they say. I am not going to any
trouble to find or repeat them for those who have managed to miss it
so far. Believe what you want to believe. I don't care; but I'm also
not going to support Walmart. What's sad is that Walmart is getting
rich on the backs of people who are too poor to object. It's modern
day slavery.
