That is incorrect because the us wide nature is what gives it the firepower to ensure no other employers emerge via agressive price competition anywhere they do

That is incorrect because the us wide nature is what gives it the firepower to ensure no other employers emerge via agressive price competition anywhere they do emerge until the new competitor fails. Walmart local town would have staying profitable at that location as a constraint on competition. Also breaking them up is the correct antitrust mechanism not because of what walmart is doing but because the corruptibility of humanity makes regulatory action almost always fail in the long run. The government can't be trusted to regulate them to a better position for more than a very finite amoubt of time so it is better to not grow the government regulatory arm and instead break the company up to solve the issue.
