Be careful what you wish for

Here we go!
Chicago is now talking about already adding a third Wal-Mart to the city and the second one that was recently approved is still in the stages of ground breaking.
Be careful what you wish for city of Chicago and residents alike.
Wal-Mart is notorious for their exploitation of workers and low-pay when it comes to said workers at the corporate giant.
This corporation is known for killing small businesses when they come to town and eventually for going back on said agreements when it comes to a fair pay scale for their employees.
About a month ago when the Wal-Mart was approved for the south side of the city, it was noted at heftyinfo this is pathetic that citizens of the great city of Chicago are begging Wal-Mart (of all people) for jobs.
The writing on the wall is there now as Mayor Richard M. Daley sells out the city once again to a corporate raider just as he did with the 'Skyway' toll road and the parking meters in Chicago. The latter has been nothing but a disaster and they are already crying poor with the funds from said meters.
Chicago has been called the 'city of big shoulders' and the 'city that works', but with Wal-Mart now coming into the picture, it may just be a matter of time before the Windy City is blown away by the corporate mentality that has been pervading this country for the past 30 years now.
Pay the lowest possible wages to employees and make them buy their own health benefits at the same time while importing the merchandise from communist China and other "sweat shop" manufacturing places around the globe.
Pathetic.
But that's the way the powers that be (politically and corporate) want things and they are the decision makers for big business in the United States of America.
Again, careful what you wish for Chicago.
Stay tuned.
