Except that these are all examples of short-term thinking.
Communities allow them in becuse they'd have to perform amazing legal tricks to keep them out. Wal-Mart runs other businesses out, damaging both the community and the tax-base.
Why do people work for them? Because a job is better than no job, much of the time, and WalMart has eliminated most other jobs in the community at that level. Wal-Mart provides substandard jobs and eliminates competing jobs, harming the employees. Not every job is a GOOD job.
They provide lower prices, but at the cost of community and their employees who would be better off paying a little more while earning more.
They're successful because they've managed to screw everyone from suppliers to employees to communities all in the goal of the highest profit for the CEOs.
