Corporate Retail

Several corporate businesses like walmart, dell, mc'd ,etc... are starting to expand their businesses into growing economies like India, China, etc... Some of these countries like India are barely going corporate, so alot of small business men are being hurt.

The mom and pop stores can't compete with the discounts offered by big retail, so they are losing business. So is it just a fact of life that for economy to change for the better, someone or some other party gets hurt in the process? Or... is there a better way for both parties to be satisfied?

This was the same argument made when businesses like Walmart started expanding their operations here in the states. Are we better or worse for it? Meh. There's not one walmart where I live so I couldn't say. The most we have is a Costco which is a God-send for yummy delicious food in bulk <drool>.

Best company ever here is ALDI for sheep stuff, if you do not ming buying generic food.
I saw the other day at 3.40 bertoli pasta HMMMMMMMMM Bertoli and outside was 7 dollars and in another place 5.60 in conclusion Bertoli HMMMMMMMMMM, I mean ALDI is the best.
And what is funny that you see the mercedez, BMW, Jaguars outside.
Maybe the maids buy there and say they buy in costco or another place, you never know.
