I happily shop at WalMart for product and, IMO, they are a shining example of capitalism. However, I hate shopping at my local WalMart because it's location is a pain in the ass. But if you really want to talk about welcome to the hive look into some of the communication's companies dealings of the past couple of weeks.

I wonder if Seiyu will become the biggest employer in Japan (like WalMart is here) and offer employees the minimum wage and extremely limited benefits.

Meh. People choose to work there or not. Management at WalMart gets paid pretty well.

I only wish the Hive was that big. Maybe if I posted more than three times a month?
