Dante eat your heart out. [posted by Troy] A Wal-Mart bank? My sister sent me this article, since I am not too shy about voicing my dislike for Wal-Mart. I've had several convesations with people whose opinion I greatly respect in the world of economics (CD and others), and most people pretty much agree that Wal-Mart will probably end up in some sort of Antitrust thing like microsoft and Ma Bell. Some people are also predicting a revital of the labor wars that were fought in the US during the early 1900s, but this time in places like Asia. Nothing like riots, protests, and bombings by underpaid workers for some fun. 11:05:22 PM  permanent link  Reader Comments []  Google It! Barrow Adventures Research is fun...and cold.
