The Walmart controversy


The controversy of Walmart coming to NYC faced a big hearing. Some people think that having a Walmart would be a good thing because it's cheap and it's a big store where you could mostly find everything. On the other hand some people think that having Walmart is not a good idea because it makes people lose their jobs and it also forces the small business owner to close because they can not compete against that giant "Walmart". Many important figure in the United States are involved in that problem. Mayor Bloomberg says" the retailer has a right to open in the city, and would employ a large number of people" . In my opinion having Walmart is a bad idea because it makes all of these small business close and it makes lots of people lose job, and if they lose their jobs, they can not feed there family which is a very bad for some people.

  2. i support your opinion that having wal-mart is bad because is not only see what wal-mart want us to see but we also have to see what they don t want us to see like cheaper stuff yes is good but what is the point of buying cheap stuff if we can t even feed our family because we let a big business destroyed a small one.

  3. I strongly agree with you because If that big giant store open in Brooklyn it will cause a lot of problems for the small businesses....

  4. it depends on how the people look at it. if the small business doesn't really produce anything or provide anything to the public, we can say that wal-mart would be good for them.

  5. I stand in the middle. Based on I am a customer, I Like to have this store, because i can buy everything that i want in it. It saves my time to walk around to look for things in other stores. If small business, they won't like it. They will lose their jobs. Therefore, I suggest the government to give advice.
