Just curious, but how does this video (demonstrating Wal-Mart store openings since the company’s birth) make you feel?
A) Neat-o. I like shiny things.
B) Proudly capitalistic
C) A tad alarmed
D) Flat-out nauseous
It’s pretty amazing, no matter how you feel about Wal-Mart. One thing’s for sure, they are the retail powerhouse.

Now, a few things, most [...]

Voting is live at the Consumerist. Speak up! Be heard! Make a difference!
Or just vent.
The bracketed field of 64 companies is here.

I just read one of the most fascinating, disturbing articles I’ve ever read about a particular person of business fame. I’ll say little more. Instead, I’ve clipped from the article a big batch of quotes, facts, and opinions about this person. Now, I only pulled the controversial, negative parts. I didn’t make these up, and [...]

Looks like Wiley Indy will soon have company.
