Wal-mart dukes it out with Amazon.com
The price war between Amazon.com and Wal-mart is escalating. Wal-mart is the behemoth with 4000 stores and 400 billion in sales. Amazon.com is the upstart. Amazon sells exclusively on line with 20 billion in annual sales.
Now Wal-mart is throwing down the gauntlet in the on-line battlefield, challenging Amazon in pricing on many popular items sold through Wal-mart’s website. These price wars began with books and now have expanded into many other product lines.
Amazon cuts a price. Then Wal-mart follows suit. Back and forth. One might hope that consumers could stand to benefit?

Socialism Sucks, I’m confused. The last time I checked, China was still a socialist state. You want us to be more like them? So Socialism Sucks but we should emulate China. Your logic escapes me.

I don’t care what kind of prices Wal-Mart offers. It’s Target for all my in-store shopping and Amazon for everything on-line.

The competition is great. Made in China? Is that why they continue to buy our debt? Wake up America, we are now in a more global economy. Find ways to compete, stop the whining.

Who wins when the competition is gone? Walmart has the ability and deep pockets to run out of business anyone who gets in their way. Then where’s the low price coming from?

Stores compete and consumers win. Also, can anyone name me even one mom and pop store that was replaced by Walmart that used union help and paid for their employee’s healthcare? None in this area.

I like walmart just because so many unions and leftists don’t. Once upon a time, I was a teamster, so I’ve had my fill of unions.
