Weekly Mulch: Local Food—Where Sustainability Meets Self-Reliance

I drove to my local Walmart today. I know, I know…big bad Big Box store. It’s true; they ran most of the small, local competition into the ground. But that’s not what this post is about. I just needed some sheets for my daughter’s new bed, and a comforter. Along the way I had to park in their ginormous parking lot. So I did what I always do; I took the first available spot.

As I was driving to my spot, I saw numerous cars driving up and down the rows of parked cars, looking for that prized “spot closest to the building”.

The California-based 9th circuit court of appels announced on Monday that its 11 judges had voted 6-5 to support a lower court decision to grant class status to the complaint, which was filed in 2001 on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Walmart women employees.

Michael Moore’s latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story takes aim at the elite bankers and CEOs who are steering America’s economy into the gutter, and among the bad guys he goes after is none other than the world’s largest and most brutal retailer, Wal-Mart (now re-branded as Walmart). Moore exposes Walmart’s dirty practice of taking out insurance claims on its employees and cashing in on their deaths without telling their families.

A viral video known around the internet as The Greatest Walmart Prank Ever is sure to deliver a ROLFMAO moment. Probably unsuitable for young children.

Because we as a nation have lost sight of what is good value, we are looking at a bunch of cheap solutions to expensive problems.
