Wal-Mart Is Upsetting The Gods In Mexico

"Wal-Mart puts down roots in the shadow of the Pyramid of the Sun in San Juan Teotihuacan. Is the global leviathan any match for Quetzalcoatl?

...Wal-Mart now owns 687 superstores in 71 Mexican cities, [and]is Mexico’s biggest job generator - accounting for 101,000 jobs (average wage: $1.20/hour).

...The Teotihuacan Wal-Mart was a ready-made flashpoint for indigenous organizations such as the National Association for Indigenous Autonomy, which pointedly asked if the Catholic Church would allow a megastore to be thrown up at the door to the Vatican."
