I hope the DC city council sticks to their guns and tells Wal-Mart to be sure to let door hit them in the ass on the way out. Sure, it will cost the District jobs if Wal-Mart cancels its plans to open three outlets, but that just means that other companies, like CostCo, can pick up the slack while paying the District’s residents a living wage.
I like the idea of the nation’s capital being a Wal-Mart-free zone.
