Winchester Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Walmart buys an island. They will set the laws on the island, but in order to make sure Walmart's power is kept in check, the Executives in charge of the island will appoint a panel of judges. The judges will then keep the people who appointed (and pay) them in check. Edited August 14, 2013 by Winchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccountDeleted Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 We don't have any Wal-Mart stores here in Australia but... WAL-MART, the world's biggest retailer, which last week gave up on Germany, is reportedly looking at trying its luck in Australia and is sizing up our two biggest supermarket operators, Coles Myer and Woolworths. http://www.smh.com.au/news/business/walmart-eyes-australia/2006/07/30/1154198011039.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 That's all very nice, but my point is that the "checks and balances" of the legislative, executive, and judicial branches are asinine. It's a fiction I will hopefully teach my daughter to scorn and ridicule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I foresee this island having hundreds of ports of entry, with only about two of them actually open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4588686 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's not a very good analogy. It would work if the customers elected the executives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but you can always just ride up onto the beach yourself. If the beach isn't broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
