Uncomfortable? yes
Surprising? No

I truly hope this is the beginning of the end for Walmart as it currently exists.

First of all, What do you mean by local?

And second, I hope it leads to a decent health care system in the States!

If I fly the coop some time
And take nothing but a grip
With the few good books that really count
It's a necessary trip

I'll be gone with the girl in the gold silk jacket
The girl with the pearl-driller's hands

local as in at the city-level.

walmart is typically invited in to cities who drool over the short-term increase in local tax base, and forget about the long term damage to same.
