Wal-Mart, Like Drug Dealers, Supports Terrorism

March 22, 2007 10:58 AM by Robert Murphy | Other posts by Robert Murphy | Comments (9)

...according to a new ad campaign. Maybe libertarians should start saying, "Oppose the government! It sponsors terrorism!" It does, after all.

  • This is all Walmarts fault. If you give an inch the unions and progressives will attempt to take a mile.

    If Walmart was worried about putting customers in stores like its founder they would not have these stupid problems. But they made a stupid choice and decided to work with the statist scum. Now they pay.

    You wonder why union membership is declining.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't Wal-mart be hardest hit by a port nuclear attack? Since that would kill their supply chains and cause their stores to be looted?

  • I mean, other than the dead people and all.

    I'm just saying, if you're claiming they're skimping on port nuclear safety to ... *increase* profits ... you kinda have to wonder.

  • I agree with Person -- you really have to lack the ability to start with the assumption that mega-successful Wal-Mart doesn't care about the safety of ports. It is like saying they don't care about the safety of their trucking (which I believe is said by truckers who don't like Wal-Mart's demanding schedules for loading and stocking stores).

    Furthermore, Wal-Mart has a lot of incentive to productively prevent terrorism, too... so the whole ad is silly rhetoric. But Bill is right, too, in saying that Wal-Mart's CEO has been flirting with the political scum... once you play in the dirt, you no longer have clean hands.

  • What is the difference between a union and a business? They both provide a good/service and they each act to achieve goals.

    That union membership is falling could be to do with the changing nature of work rather than any inherent mistrust of unions; or that governments have changed the rules / state of play in favour of one group at the expense of another.

    Compulsory unionism though is another matter and I don't think it is right for people to be forced into membership. Alternatively businesses getting favours from governments is a pet peeve of mine as well.

    no workable solution from me then :0)

    cheers

  • Wal-Mart remains a lightning rod for groups like WakeUpWalMart.com and Wal-Mart Watch that have attacked the company over its pay, hiring and healthcare policies.
