This press release served chiefly to remind me that Walmart still exists. Remember when Walmart was the most sinister threat to America's future? Was that before or after the terrorists? Or climate change? I know it came before Sarah Palin was our most sinister threat but after CFCs were. It's tough keeping these sinister threats straight.
(I live in a city, Philadelphia, where our Walmart, if we in fact have one—and we do, right?!—is down there near the Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, and Ikea somewhere. I'm familiar with Ikea mostly because I can see it every time I go to pick up my normally-stationary car after the PPA needs to make quota and decides to tow it.)
- euroclydon 16y agoIs Amazon a threat to America? I can't remember ever hearing anyone mention about the country of origin for any of Amazon's goods. Wal-Mart rivals Amazon for price, breadth of choice and delivery convenience of online shopping.
- edw 16y agoSounds like a plan: we can cue up Amazon a bit over the sinister threat horizon, although Amazon is kinda mid-nineties by now. On the other hand, Jesse Jackson, Jr. seems to be making a go of making Apple into American's next Great Enemy, so who knows? Hope springs eternal.
