Wal-Mart, NoCal, and McDonald's in the 60's as Contra Costa County near Frisco bans Wal-Mart from building a store. When I lived in Frisco in the mid-sixties the unions had successfully kept McDonald's completely out of the city, citing low wages and the usual Left Wing shit. It had everything to do with the unions. Keeping Wal-Mart out of Contra Costa is another union move prodded by the Retail Clerks Union. Not that they don't have a point, see my post on the low wage/low benefit problem (NYT reference may now require money), but banning a business is Communism or at least Socialism. How can you ban a business and not ban others doing the same business? The Left can do anything.
