Teaching economic? They don't even know how to spell it!

Economics includes the reaction of a consumer base, and their decisions need not be based exclusively on price and availability. Walmart has nearly monopolized the discounted retail space, and reactions like this should be an expected and growing part of their calculus. As the largest private employer in the US, they have become the standard bearer for US employment, and therefore a legitimate political target. It is only a matter of time before they are confronted by organized labor. This is just a small salvo across their bows; what lies ahead may be much more substantial.
