Of every dollar spent at any store in the USA (excluding auto supply stores) 7.5 cents goes to walmart.
If walmart was a nation, it would be considered china's 6th largest trading partner.
Walmart is huge. Mega huge. Nothing, ever, has come close to it.
Its so huge, that a single decision by walmart can affect the national, and even international economy.
Textbook case of a single entity having far, far too much power, imo.
