You don't understand economics. It's okay. You have a passing grasp of baseball.

Enscheff doesn't understand economics, either, and he clearly misunderstood the point Piggler and Sturg were making, but he at least brings some relatively novel analysis to the game of baseball (for a fan board).

Please explain how a massive corporation being as efficient as Walmart is "bad" for the American people.

Again, you seem to want 40% of your produce spoiled before it hits the market and 25% price hikes on every basic good you buy.

You know who else buys into this nonsense? India. Do you want the American economy to look like India's?

And you realize the average worker at Walmart would be one of the richest people in every state of India, right?

You're a fucking clown.

You are in luck—as an “attendee of an Ivy League law school,” you have access to what I am sure is an excellent Antitrust Law course (unless it is Cornell, barely even an Ivy, amiright?) where you can explore the potential issues with massive corporations dominating markets and why we have sought to regulate them.

More on topic, you might also read the Curt Flood case and then you can understand how we got to the efficient Kyle Tucker market.

Ehhhh sorry but Walmart doesnt even begin to qualify as a monolopy. It makes up about 7% of total retail sales, and also forces basically all competitors to move their pricing downward. Its absolutely a consumer friendly business

You must have went to Cornell
 
Wouldn’t be sturg if he wasn’t arguing against a thing I didn’t say (“Walmart has a national retail monopoly”).

EDIT: To keep this on topic, which Walton billionaire should we lobby to buy the Braves?

Oh my bad when you started invoking antitrust and massive corporations dominating markets (7%?), and requiring regulations, I just assumed you were taking the angle of monopolies

Silly me. But for the rest of the board... Walmart doesnt qualify for... any of that stuff you posted
