What is Walmart?
Capitalism, & Exploitation ?
How Big is Walmart?
This should boggle your mind!! And Probably scare you as well!
1. At Wal-Mart, Americans spend $36,000,000 every hour of every day.
2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!
3.. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March
17th) than Target sells all year.
4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears + Costco +
K-Mart combined.
5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private
employer, and most of it's employees can't speak English.
6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.
7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, keep in
mind they did this in only 15 years.
8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.
9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.
10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super
Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.
11. This year, 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur At
a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion.)
12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.
13. The value of product for Wal-Mart passing through the port of San
Diego each year is a larger sum than 93% of ALL countries Gross National
Product (GNP) .....and that is only ONE port ...one way – that's how
Wal-Mart gets it's stuff.
14. Of the 1.6 million employees, only 1.2% make a living above the
poverty level. 15. Wal-Mart's head office is located and centralized in
Bentonville. Due to this fact, there are more millionaires per square mile
there than any place on Earth.
16. The official U.S. Government position is that Wal-Mart's prices are no
lower than anyone else's when compared to a typical families weekly
purchases from other shops selling the same items. That's the view of the
statisticians at the Bureau Of Labor Statistics (BLS) responsible for
calculating the Consumer
Price Index (CPI).
17. 92% of everything Wal-Mart sells, comes from China. Another 4% comes
from Chinese owned companies in the U.S. or in the 3rd world Countries.
18. Wal-Mart and MOST large companies, take out life insurance on its
employees, without their knowing. If an employee dies, ALL the insurance
moneys go to the companies, i.e. an employee making $18,000 per year,
dies, and the company might make as much as $1 million. Most often these
moneys, coming from what is commonly referred to as "Dead Peasant Life
Insurance Policies", is paid out to executives as bonuses. (A common
practice, unknown to the average consumer).
19... Wal-Mart now averages a "profit" (not sales) of $36 billion per
year.
20. Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street. If not, consider shopping someplace
else.
If all the Wal-Mart stores are closed China go bankrupt!!
Now you can well understand what will happen if Walmart comes to India!
