India, hold on to your hat...
Here comes Walmart! I couldn' believe what I read in the news today. There is no Walmart in India!
How in the heck did this slip by? Over a Billion people and no Walmart? No "Black Friday" shopping?
Walmart is the world's biggest employer and it is everywhere, every little American town, all over Russia and, of course, all over China the biggest producer of the Walmart Brand, the stuff the store is full of.
India for Walmart is like the back deepest jungles of Burma. Watch out India, you are about to be clear cut!
This will be an interesting historical study. It will change everything. B.W. Before Walmart. and A.W. After Walmart. That is how time will be recorded when all will be altered forever.
Not to say this is all bad because it isn't. The Indian Government is hoping that Walmart can do what it has failed to do. India produces plenty of food for its people, enough to export even but because of poor roads,
underdeveloped infrastructure and lack of refrigeration a lot of food rots on the way to market leaving millions hungry and malnourished. For the lack of a refrigerated truck people are starving.
All roads lead to Walmart. That is right. You get so much more than a store, thousands and thousands of square feet under one roof! You get acres and acres of parking! and roads developed to get the customers to the store and the produce and products to the customers. Wait and see, you will get new harbors for the shipping lines and the roads will become bigger to support the trucking necessary. It will be a hustle and bustle of activity and it will change everything.
The time is now to get your cameras out, to record India as you remember it, the small shops, the local artists, the craftsmen, the locality. And welcome to "China, Incorporated" because Walmart can't survive by selling food alone. Oh, no, you will have "Super Centers" and 24 hours a day huge truck and trailer loads will unload stuff imported from China for your pleasure.
It will help your economy, it has a proven track record of success. It creates a mind set of "More" and a need for bigger houses, bigger cars. Just think, maybe next year you too can get up in the middle of the night on Black Friday and "go shopping" at five o'clock in the morning! Welcome to the modern world, and
good luck!
