re: #2 John Vreeland
I’d say the wage set by that law should be cut to around the $10 dollar range to keep it competitive. But I’d also remind people that those Wal-Marts built in Chicago were primarily sold as a way to eliminate the problem of those phenomena known as “food deserts”, and in that they are a success. They do offer poor areas access to fresh produce, though whether people buy such items is another question.
