Walmart Uses Bribes to Break Laws, Subvert Public
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WSs-n60Aqxk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Wal-Mart longed to build in Elda Pineda's alfalfa field. It was an ideal location, just off this town's bustling main entrance and barely a mile from its ancient pyramids, which draw tourists from around the world. With its usual precision, Wal-Mart calculated it would attract 250 customers an hour if only it could put a store in Mrs. Pineda's field. One major obstacle stood in Wal-Mart's way. After years of study, the town's elected leaders had just approved a new zoning map. The leaders wanted to limit growth near the pyramids, and they considered the town's main entrance too congested already. As a result, the 2003 zoning map prohibited commercial development on Mrs. Pineda's field, seemingly dooming Wal-Mart's hopes."* What does Walmart do when it wants to build on land where they've been prohibited? Make huge bribes. That's what a New York Times investigation found had happened when Walmart wanted to build in Mexico. |

Doesn't surprise me. The last thing that needs to be within a mile of ancient pyramids is a goddamn Wal-mart
