What's that we all learned in Econ 101 - when demand increases, prices rise? And -

Wal-Mart may not be the ideal choice, but the company is doing something <i>more</i> than all other companies that don't operate there - bringing in employment to an area that is otherwise in desperate need of it. In other words, the villain here isn't Wal-Mart, the villain is the other companies that don't do anything for these areas - but then again, maybe the reason other companies don't operate as frequently in bad areas is because they already have more than enough on their plate paying high union wages to their workers.

Although job growth is great, sometimes I wonder whether employment needs could be better met by a company who gave a damn for its employees and taxpayers in general.
