I finally make an anti-capitalism post

(1/4) > >>

Trauma-san:
Alright, just to show I'm very balanced, I'm actually going to make an anti-capitalism post.

Now, generally, I believe that businesses should be able to do whatever they want whenever they want to make money, with little restriction from the government.  I gotta throw a red flag up on this one, though.

They're buidling a Wal-Mart @ Teotihuacan.

Yes, you heard me correct, they're building a Wal-Mart on an ancient Mexican archaeological site.  I don't know what the fuck they're thinking, or who said this is cool, but destroying ancient, Pre-Aztec ruins so you can put a Wal-Mart RIGHT THERE is rediculous.  They're actually building it on the edge of the site, but during construction, they found a small buried altar.  LOL Wal-Mart's solution? Since it's going to be in the parkinglot, they're going to cover that area of the parking lot with plexi-glass, so you can see the altar.  I am not fucking kidding you.  They're building a wal-mart, around an altar @ Teotihuacan in Mexico. 


On one hand, I see Wal-Mart's dillemma, they've already committed millions of dollars to this, but sometimes enough is enough.  They need to move the fuck down the road a little bit. 

Shallow:
Wal Mart made like 250 billion last year I think they can afford to lose a few mil on one store in Mexico not going up. I'd like to see Toyota attempt to build a car plant over the land where the trade towers used to be, and see how well that would go over. There are some things that just aren't neccessary, and building over ancient ruins is one those things.

M Dogg™:
I can't agree more... good damn. And I shop at Wal Mart too. Fuck that though, if they are gonna build on Aztec ruins, then there has to be a boycott.

Who are you to tell somebody how much money they can/can't make?
