1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St.Patrick's Day
(March 17th) than Target sells all year.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target + Sears
+ Costco + K-Mart combined.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest
private employer. And most can't speak English

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway
combined; and keep in mind, they did this in only 15 years.

8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought
bankruptcy (including Winn-Dixie).

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906
are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.

11 This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur
at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 billion.)

12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart

Let Wal-Mart bail out Wall Street.
Better yet . . . let them run the Government.

Without Wal-Mart, there would be two countries out of work...U.S. and China. We need to put limits on how much imported stuff comes in this country.

Therein lies the problem. The import taxes need to be raised for sure. It'll never happen though.

How do you determine Walmart's profit is 20,928 a minute?

I was just toying with some math and see that if they sell 36,000,000 an hour, then they sell $600,000 a minute... so what are they profiting... .5%?

I'm going to start shopping there!
