       @Nonilex And with that comment the Walton faction of the American Civil War armed itself.

       @Nonilex The real problem of course is not Walmart, which can soak up a couple of months net loss and keep prices low.  The problem is smaller firms without deep pockets that can be destroyed by one expensive month.  Walmart may even profit from this long-term.
