[Vision2020] China is at our door.

Walmart needs to grow up. It needs to go play in the big cities like Los
Angeles and New York. Those cities are not saturated with Walmarts, yet. Go
there instead of killing off old time family businesses in small towns where
you have no competition. You just bulldoze us away. Then - you hire us back
at minimum wage or thereabouts.

Who wants to make bets that on the next grocery store death when the super
center makes it to Pullman? Is the new super center going to sell tires to?
How about a pharmacy? This will surely bankrupt tire stores and pharmacies.
In addition to book stores, grocery stores, hobby stores, etc. The super
center will do a lot more damage than bankruptcy. Think about the stores
that have long term leases? These people will lose their entire lifer
savings. Their entire families wealth will be transferred to Walmart.

Remember what Moscow's Walmart did to downtown Moscow when it arrived? Think
if it was a super center. Food for thought. The super center in Pullman will
definetely effect Moscow and Pullman equally. You'll see.
