In business news, Wal-Mart has reclaimed its position as the largest corporation in the United States edging out Exxon Mobil. Meanwhile Wal-Mart has succeeded in winning a gag order to stop a fired security operative from speaking out about the company's spy operations. Earlier this month Bruce Gabbard told the Wall Street Journal that Wal-Mart is running a sophisticated surveillance operation that targets employees, journalists, stockholders and critics of the company. Gabbard also revealed that the company had infiltrated an anti-Wal-Mart group. In addition to the gag order, a judge has order Gabbard to name every person whom he has discussed Wal-Mart with over the past three months. Wal-Mart alleges that Gabbard has violated trade secrets law by revealing confidential information about Wal-Mart security systems and operations.

As long as prices are low people will go there, when they wake up to what they are doing it will be too late.
That's if Walmart remains profitable and less lawsuits overseas. 70% of the products in Walmart are made overseas in China. Most folks will cling to Walmart for the low prices. However, the Walton family better hope that the shareholders don't take their business elsewhere.
