Walmart has new logo/slogan

If you haven't already read, Walmart: The Bully of Bentonville: How the High Cost of Everyday Low Prices is Hurting America, then I highly recommend it. It is the story of Walmart, how it began, how it changed the market place, and the tactics they use to keep their prices low. 

It is a book that everyone who cares about their community should read. Walmart destroys communities creating lower paying jobs that ultimately cost everyone in the community in ways unexpected. Don't be fooled, Walmart does not care about your community no matter how much they contribute to social causes. They started doing this to help polish their tarnished image. They are not on your side. They are cunning and are only concerned about the bottom line. Be an informed consumer, read this book and anything else you can about this company. Then make the right choice and support the businesses that truly support your community. They are your neighbors, friends and family. 

The real name for their new slogan is missing the last sentence. 

Walmart
Save Money. Live better.
F-ck your neighbor.
