where's that "smaller" government coming from as "we the people" demand more and more from all of our governments? You have your head up your butt on this one.
Wallmart will close 269 stores.....
- Thread starter rocketclone
- Start date
Kinda looks like they're closing stores in smaller communiites AFTER the local businesses had to stop.
Some folks are speculating that minimum wage laws are affecting which Walmarts are chosen to close. 
In Oakland, employees and city officials expressed shock, and some speculated that the city’s minimum-wage law played a part in the decision to shutter the store there. The Walmart in San Jose, which also boosted the minimum wage, will shut as well. The two stores in San Leandro, which has no minimum-wage law that supersedes the state’s, will remain open.
