Thread: Watching the Growth of Walmart Across America

Watching the Growth of Walmart Across America

Over the weekend, I mapped the spread of Walmart using Modest Maps. It starts slow and then spreads like wildfire in the southeast and makes its way towards the west coast.

Why are Mom and Pop stores shutting they're doors.... watch the map and how fast Walmart grows ... The store numbers are in the upper left hand corner and the year is in the lower right hand side....also .. where does allot of the goods found in Walmart come from ... I do believe it is China... correct me if I am wrong

soooooo America ... where is your money actually going ... are you an informed consumer

I keep telling everyone to boycott Wal-Mart. People are not thinking even to the next day.

Call ...Call the Senators about the Stimulus Package, ask for them to make E-Verify STRONGER by requiring all State Unemployment Offices in the Nation to E-Verify all I-9 Immigrant Forms, retroactive.

Thanks for the reminder Airborne. I'll forward this to my contacts.
