As an example, last week, I was waiting for my paint to be mixed at Walmart.

If a Wal-mart wants to develop on a few raw acres of commercially zoned land, does it make that land a lot more valuable?

So far (in nearly 6 months), I've invested about $150 in the paint job, (for paint from Walmart) and the rehab consisted of replacing an old fuse box with a circuit breaker box (about $50), installing a new shower valve in one apartment ($94 with sharkbite connectors and pex), having one furnace repaired by a HVAC company (about $165 as I recall), and some carpet for one apartment that is on a slab (about $200) - plus my labor, of course.

A little about me Im 27 and I work at wal-mart as a overnight manager.

I think it makes me angry, the same kind of anger I get when I see some parents at Walmart that won't take their child outside and discipline them.

I'm sure you know about the new Lowes/Walmart in the Green Co.

It's not impossible but it's like starting a retail store right next to Walmart.

Maybe Walmart or something like that.

Surely you don't think Bush and Co. are going to take up for anyone who's hassling the folks who provide a HUGE CHUNK of merchandise to Wal-Mart (huge Bush supporters), which helps keep our inflation rate down, while at the same time purchasing AN EVEN BIGGER AMOUNT of our debt, which allows us to continue on this drunken spending spree that's been going on for the past five years.
