		<description>From Wikipedia: 
&quot;Walmart has been criticized by some community groups, women&#039;s rights groups, grassroots organizations, and labor unions, specifically for its extensive foreign product sourcing, low rates of employee health insurance enrollment, resistance to union representation, alleged sexism, and management efforts to pressure employees to vote for specific parties during national elections. Conversely, others point out that Wal-Mart&#039;s rapid growth and logistical efficiency has enabled it to bring lower prices to consumers and more jobs and new small businesses to the communities in which it operates.&quot;

I asked this of one Chinese person and the response I essentially got was &quot;a deal&#039;s a deal.&quot;</description>
