Walmart doesn't sell Nazi flags, nor does Target. Or Sears. Or Nordstrom. Or Khols. In fact, no big chain, big box, stores sell any Nazi regalia...

...but if you want it, there is little difficulty getting it.

Walmart's choices in what they stock will have limited to no impact on whether or not bucktooth hillbillies can get a flag or not.

Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

And doing this didn't affect their profits one way or the other. Not from any measurable, practical standpoint anyway.

What they DID do was draw a big, fat line in the sand for all the world to see, to show which side of the line they are on.

THAT'S why they did it.

Why did they do it if not to positively impact their bottom line?

What was their motivation?

I wasn't commenting on why Walmart did what they did, Watson.

I was commenting on Thomas' fear that bucktoothed hillbillies would be without access to their beloved flags.

I don't get why Walmart drew a big line in the sand, if not to secure or improve their financial results.

What was the reason if not profit driven?

What's your point? The flag is easy to get which is why they should keep selling it.

Why does it matter to you whether or not Walmart or any other store carries a specific item? They aren't being forced to take the stuff off the shelves.

If this won't affect being able to get one, and it's Walmart's choice... what is the problem?

That makes no sense.


Why does a corporation want that?

What possible reason can they have for affecting political change in a liberal direction?

Liberals are idiots with their money, something stores love.
