What's bad for the middle class is usually very good for Wal-Mart.
I'd like to see them get rid of their unionbuster jet, but...
The way this economy is going, I'd not be surprised if they fail at pulling off another Jonquiere.
Their competitors (Meijer, in some respect Kroger) may be regional, but they certainly haven't failed with unions.
