Wow!
It makes you consider carrying capacity...when you over reach the carrying capacity by limiting diversity to one species or business, whether it be environmental or economic...collapse results. This exemplifies how precarious our national "ecosystem" has become. If all regions and perhaps most communities base their economy on one corporation, and that corporation collapses...what will be the overall impact. Is it not better to diversify for the future economic health and well being in a community instead of planting a single "crop" of wal-marts. Hmmm... makes you want to eat potatoes all the time.

Is there any chance that this information is available on a global scale? That takes it from a cancerous stage to pandemic.

I think Wal-Mart has a lot of international territory to conquer yet. The majority of it's stores are in the US, although it would be interesting to see what Wal-Mart owned ASDA is doing in the UK.
