The $245 Billion Stealth Weapon

Okay, is it just me waking up to the phenomena, or is Wal-mart getting a lot of fairly negative press from multiple directions all of a sudden.?

The Los Angeles Times started a three-part series on Wal-Mart today: An Empire Built on Bargains Remakes the Working World (no-cost registration required).

What was the tipping point that triggered all this examination of Wal-mart's impact?

Can it be that big honkin' warehouse-size stores full of gallon jars of pickles and cheap jeans aren't as sexy as operating system monopolies?
