>Sounds like you work with sexist people. Also, I doubt people are as intolerant as you believe.

People are exactly as intolerant as I believe - no more and no less.

I actually had to get a job in another state (gotta love the age of computers for lots of reasons - working virtually in another state) because I burned my bridges in this town - by arguing that men should get paternity leave the way women should get maternity leave. I honestly thought that was pretty noncontroversial.

>So what's your solution? Make a law that requires everyone to accept your opinion? Oh, wait, this is already what activist feminists are doing...making their opinion the law.

Barring businesses from discrimination, because that's the way towards the most freedom. It's not perfect, but barring discrimination was a good act in the face of oppression.

>In apartheid Africa, in many residential areas that were required by law to forbid blacks, the number of blacks outnumbered whites.

Not sure how that proves who's "winning".

>Also, the entire North is a case study.

Let's try discriminating communities in the south vs nondiscriminating communities in the south. Otherwise we might as well compare Beijing and Tehran for all the sense it makes.

>What about them? A company was buying from people, and those people did bad things in order to sell to them. They then stopped selling to them. I don't see anywhere that the employees of the company were murdering people.

As I said - they hire out. It's essentially the same thing, but you get one step in between so you're not technically guilty by law and can plead ignorance.

>I'm skeptical, however, purely because I couldn't find any evidence of it outside your comment.

>In September, Wal-Mart was hit with three separate charges of predatory pricing. Government officials in Wisconsin and Germany accused the retailer of pricing goods below cost with an intent to drive competitors out of the market. In Oklahoma, Wal-Mart faces a private lawsuit alleging similar illegal pricing practices.

>The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection filed a complaint with an administrative law judge accusing the retailer of violating the state’s antitrust law. The complaint says Wal-Mart sold butter, milk, laundry detergent, and other staple goods below cost in stores in Beloit, Oshkosh, Racine, Tomah, and West Bend. The company intended to force other stores out of business, gain a monopoly in local markets, and ultimately recoup its losses through higher prices.

I don't live in Wisconsin, btw.

>If you've noticed this trend, once a new grocery store appears, why not just boycott the Wal-Mart, since you already know it's going to just up the prices?

I do. Most people don't.

>Maybe put up a website or run a local ad regarding it? Why doesn't the new grocery store advertise this history in order to draw customers, something like "Unlike Wal-Mart, we won't increase our prices once the competition leaves!"

Yeah they've tried that. People still go for the lower prices.

>Then the situation at Wal-Mart isn't bad enough for you to move. That's your choice. Why is that Wal-Mart's fault?

Because they're engaging in predatory pricing, which is against the law, and would be prosecuted if the state had any balls.

>Ah, so the majority are willing to pay more, and so the prices are more expensive. Yay for basic economics?

That is economics, yes. The strong beat out the weak and then prey on the consumer.

>Also, does Amazon not ship to your location? You can buy groceries online, and for cheap. It's why they bought Whole Foods, and have plenty of other suppliers. Why don't you?

I'm glad you brought up Amazon. Wal-Mart's predatory pricing on nonperishable goods has been broken thanks to amazon. You can order things and have them shipped in. Which I generally do.

However, for perishable items...

$20 is quite a lot for a gallon of milk, even by price gouging wal-mart standards.

>My choice is between benevolent tyranny or corrupt tyranny? Sorry, no. The entire history of the United States disproves this.

Those are your choices in this instance, yes. Economics is not some benevolent force for good. It merely is a thing that exists. The preferences of the actors drive the preferences of the economy.

If those preferences are racist, the economy will react accordingly. If they are sexist, the economy will react accordingly.
