The Fight over Wal-Mart-2

I am seen the store where there are other shops and I don’t believe that they have closed. The specialty shops can be opened near the store and thrive. Not all the shops would survive but the ones which do would indeed thrive and in this day and age where everybody is struggling with finances, it is essential that we should welcome big box retailers to locations where people can buy affordable stuff on the cheap, and if they don’t like the stuff, they can go somewhere else. It is all about the choice.

Secondly why should the unions be against something that can generate some extra jobs? Although they do pay lower pay but that is how they are able to give lower prices. Nobody is forcing anyone to work there if they don’t want to but if there are jobs, right now any jobs to support your family should be appreciated. In the short run, when the inefficient neighborhood shops close due to this competition, there will be unemployment but it will be outweighed by the number of jobs created by the store. Unless the unions are trying to protect high paying jobs, the fight over the store is a non issue and it should be allowed to put up the store anywhere in the city. This is what we call capitalism and free competition.
