Wal mart is on a fast track to becoming another Sears, you can only travel so far on Chinese slave labor.

"By doing hundreds of people in a day, Wal-Mart would also become a powerful source for medical research, which is very profitable."

Particularly if they market the data: Imagine diabetics receiving mailings from drug manufacturers (at the same time insurers are sold list of persons to screen for pre-existing conditions).

IMO, the market for people looking for a detailed self-DNA analysis and those who shop at Walmart are mutually exclusive.

Hey, if we’re not going to have our postal service do the census for us, we might as well contract it out to Walmart next time around.

Should make for one helluva bull market in burqas.

Which country are they hiring these 500,000 in?

It is Chinese slave labor in every retail store... all of apple is made in China

Since Obama became prez and the economy crashed, I have not shopped at any of these stores. I grow food and buy what I need in addition to storage stocks (for me and my neighbors’s children). I don’t buy clothes or anything else I don’t absolutely need. Walmart is Chi-com, La Raza crap in Texas.
