Wal Mart Realty

A company so proud of its logistics technology realizes that a virtual retail store can fit inside any smart phone. Now that Wal-Mart has shrunk itself to 1,000 square feet -- the next step is to vanish altogether.

Wal-Mart's efforts to "take over the United States" are what drives its philanthropic agenda. The Wal-Mart Foundation has become a major political operation, one which uses donations like campaign contributions made to better itself.

Despite spending more than $246,750 on a Sacramento, California lobbying firm, Wal-Mart lost a major environmental 'rollback' bill in the California legislature this week.

This week, the first shot in a long legal battle over a 138,000 square foot Wal-superstore near the Wilderness Civil War battlefield, a site of immense historic significance, has hit Wal-Mart -- but its just a superficial wound.
