Wal-Mart to the rescue - again
I know that Wal-Mart is much mistrusted for it's colossal size and buying power. Local small businesses fear them. However, the Christian ethos runs strongly through the world's largest retailer and it shows not only in their unashamed selling of Christian books, but also in what (and I hesitate to use this phrase at all in a post-Glenn Beck world) I used to refer to as 'social justice' issues. I guess I ought to drop that incedary phrase and call it 'righteousness-in-society- issues.
First they did what the Federal Government had failed to do for decade: provide afordable medications. Now they are looking out for Joe and Jane Average in the financial services sector too: what they call 'the unbanked or the unhappily banked'. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/08/business/wal-mart-benefits-from-anger-over-banking-fees.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
Good for you Wal-Mart. Good for us too.
