Wtf?

I've spent my entire adult life working for for-profit companies.

This angle is something I've never been privy too. Please, enlighten me.
Do you not think WalMart can control the numbers feeding the audit?

How about this.

A product promoting a liberal agenda gets different shelf placement, or gets its pricing marked down with a big yellow smiley face.

"Wow look how this is outselling that conservative product that we marked up an extra 10% and stuck on the bottom left corner. I guess people don't want that conservative stuff so fiscally, we have an obligation to dump it".

See this provides the "appearance of balance" initially and the justification to make the adjustment to the left.

So easy a cave man could do it.
