Wal-Mart to open stores in blighted areas

[Rocinante]

I ran across this news story and it made me wonder if they will be opening any in the Eastern Deadlands.

Apparently, their expansion plans are well underway at the new Harro south-side location... would you look at the size of the parking lot?!?

I always suspected wal mart was evil! now there proof. we all know there's more Withered Aegis in the blighted Regions than there are Gifted. So for them to make any money they must be supplying the enemy!

"Wal-Mart plans to open more than 50 stores over the next two years in neighborhoods with high crime or unemployment rates, on sites that are environmentally contaminated, or in vacant buildings or malls in need of revitalization."

Uh.... environmentally contaminated areas? Is it a good idea to keep workers in an area thats environmentally contaminated for extended periods of time?

The sad thing is that the employees most likely already live there.
