In Canada, one could 'choose' not to work for Safeway Stores, but the chain would come into a community and undersell everyone until the locals were run out of business, then raise prices dramatically. In theory, you could choose to *not* work for Safeway, but in reality, there was no one else left *to* choose to work for in the grocery business.

If they didn't buy products from the Safeway or WalMart then you wouldn't have the "problem" above. Economics 101; the people are voting with their wallets.

.... and if you don't like living among idiots, then move someplace where te population makes more intelligent purchasing decision to sustain better retailers.

No no no!! Much better to add another layer of bureaucracy to regulate the *evil* Safeway perhaps even an outright ban!! We wouldn't mention the fact that the Safeway store was able to fill a need that the local merchants were either unwilling or unable to provide. We wont mention the fact the the people of the community *chose* to shop at Safeway rather then the local merchants. Dumb sheeple all were hoodwinked by the evil capitalist. My GOD how did mankind survive this long without the Socialist & Big brother to save us from ourselves??? - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
