Maybe the CEOs and fatcats at the top of it will claim 75% of these profits for themselves, and pay the frontline serfs the lowest amount they can legally get away with.
Maybe Wal-mart can use these massive profits there to undercut losses in other areas to drive more small(see: less huge) competitors out of business.
Maybe Wal-mart is the perfect example of why unregulated capitalism is a nightmare on par with corrupted socialism.
The thing about taking both of these ideas is that there is a certain level of trust that people won't fuck over other people. I think history has proven that there will always be someone willing to fuck over everyone.
