Some people can't shop locally. Poor people.

There are no WalMarts in New York, D.C., Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco,
Detroit, Boston, and a few other union-dominated places. There are two
WalMarts in Philadelphia, three in Atlanta and Miami, one in Los Angeles,
and one in St Louis.


There is no room for a store the size of Wal-Mart in NYC (just in case
you hadn't noticed, there is more to NY than NYC), and it would be too
expensive to tear down existing buildings to build one in NYC. There are
tons of Wal-Marts in NYS.
That's why there's www.walmart.com.

I'm in Houston - we have 17 WalMarts. (Nine in Dallas, seven in Austin, and
fourteen in San Antonio - there's even one in Pflugerville, Texas)
