Wal-Mart wins the Nobel Peace Prize

A prize that will surprise many leftists and bearded folks campaigning in student associations. A prize that will break the stereotypes of those who give themselves good conscience and who want to look good by complaining against Wal-Mart.

Faced with the outcry sparked by the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore, the Norwegian committee responsible for awarding the prize changes his mind and gives it rather to Wal-Mart. The committee wanted to reward Wal-Mart for its efforts to reduce economic disparities between riches and poors and also for improving the environment.

According to the committee, thanks to products from China and other emerging countries sold in their stores, Wal-Mart has managed to improve conditions for workers in these countries. By giving work to children in poor countries, Wal-Mart has managed to bring them out of the hell of prostitution and allow them to bring money so often needed by their parents . By hiring of women in countries where they have no rights, Wal-Mart enhances the esteem of these women and allows them to emancipate themselves.

Moreover, with their enormous purchasing power and its low price offers, Wal-Mart allows the poor Occidental families who purchase things in its stores to save a lot. The money saved while shopping at Wal-Mart can be used for better purposes like sending their kids to private schools.

According to the committee that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Wal-Mart has also helped to improve the environment. Indeed, by offering several products under one roof, these stores allow buyers to make their purchases in one place. This saves fuel and helps reduce greenhouse gas. Moreover, as many products sold at Wal-Mart come from overseas, they are transported by ship rather than trucks. To ship by boat save a lot of fuel and is far less polluting than by trucks.To ship by boat save a lot of fuel and is far less polluting than by trucks.
