First off, just because many of these companies are now owned by a larger industry name does not always mean the core business is changed. Some of these acquisitions occur on the base level of adding to the parent company’s net income. Other times the original company is gutted and is little more than a name. I’m not ready to decry these brands without knowing more. Regardless, it is better to be armed with this knowledge of the general hierarchy than none at all.

The last paragraph of this article is great. It is sadly the concept so many are willingly blind to. Stubborn in their defiance, so many will not allow acceptance which ironically would solve the perceived issues of homosexuality. Gay is literally the name Black in regards to civil injustice. With the power to be progressive and compassionate, I hope this generation can take the opportunity to embrace a positive future before making the same mistakes of the complicated history of segregation.

The main problem here is Walmart’s past and largeness. How can I, as a potential customer and general observer, ignore the fact that this company still limits the opportunities of it’s employees to save money and limit risk? Or the never ending destruction of local business? Or the fact that a typical new Walmart is constructed on what was green space? As a huge and powerful corporation, I can applaud it’s efforts at greening, but in the end this one facet does not make me ignorant to the other issues with this business. The single saving grace here for me is the very real fact that Walmart’s involvement in the green industry will help make similar efforts more affordable for other businesses.
