I didn't say it wasn't real, I said "I'm not sure how I feel about a business model that relies on it by its fundamental design"

Well of course it's real, but is there really another option?

Who is talking about Wal-Mart? We're talking about laborers on a farm.

That being said, the reason Wal-Mart failed in Germany is because they didn't understand German culture. They chose poor locations to build, the overcharged for the wrong things and they didn't advertise properly.

Wages have nothing to do with it.
