Wal-Mart monolith strikes again
I was saddened to read in the March 1 Skagit Valley Herald of the latest enterprise to fall victim to the Wal-Mart monolith. Brown & Cole is shutting down eight stores in the state, a move directly attributable, by the chairman, to the impact of Wal-Mart saturation.
Once again, a long-time business, with local roots, with a policy of fairness and equity in customer and employee relations, bites the dust as our nation becomes even further Wal-Martized.
The future is bleak. Low wages, menial work and little potential for a middle class future.
The transformation of the Unite States to a banana republic continues.
