Outside of the fact that it is illegal, why have we not blown up Wal Mart?

and it has made my blood boil. This company does not need to be disciplined but eradicated from the face of the earth. Yes it a few decades one will be back but this time...I want it completely and totally gone.

1. juridical persons are best taken out via lawsuits and/or legislation n/t

[dorktv]

2. I know that. But I still want the company to go down completely.

[wli]

4. well, the company disappears with such, what more do you want? n/t

[dorktv]

6. Even if they won against the company, they still make

sufficient profits to keep going.

[wli]

7. not so; judgments can explicitly dissolve the company n/t

[dorktv]

10. would that not be a anti-trust issue?

This is a sex discrimination suit.

11. no, this is unrelated to antitrust

Antitrust breaks a single corporation into several parts. Dissolution is an order that puts it out of existence, in whole or in part.

I.G. Farben was supposed to be dealt with that way for its use of slave labor in Auschwitz during the Third Reich. It did not quite happen as expected. Its various subsidaries (Agfa, Casella, BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, Huels, Kaelle) and other associated companies escaped scrutiny entirely despite their rather active participation and Degesch even manufacturing Zyklon B for the execution of Jews, and mysteriously I.G. Farben continued doing business until 2003 despite the liquidation order being given in 1952, even entering into joint ventures with Monsanto and other "nasty companies" all along the way.

Perhaps my notion is ineffective too, since they basically all got away largely unscathed the last time anyone really seriously tried it.

3. With all due respect...

call me a worrywart but I'd change my subject line :-)

5. Thanks for the advice.

8. In addition to illegal it would be unethical

We wouldn't want to fight them by using underhanded or illegal tactics. That would be so...Republican. Better to use education, the legal system, boycotts and the like. It may take longer but at least it is clean.

9. Yup. They will be their own undoing.

It will take time.

Just keep telling everyone you know to stop shopping there, and tell them why.

I am, and it seems they actually get it.
