Re: Lest ye get too complacent

I look for them to step in during another huge disaster like Katrina and
fill a supply chain need that the government can't handle (that's already
been proven).  They'll probably perform very well and end up becoming a
homeland security dept.  But that's just paranoia talking... ;)

They are an iSeries shop, aren't they?

Wal-Mart has a goal of becoming 25% of the USA GDP.  They currently are
a bit over 1%.   Their plans include Insurance and Real Estate.
