Sim City and Why I Hate You (statistically speaking)

The EA campus.

TLDR note: Skip to the kitten if you don't want to hear my rant about Wal-Mart (it does relate, but I'm not offended).

I'm not entirely sure what to start with here, but I just had to sit through my second-to-last class of my super-senior undergraduate semester (a group presentation btw) while my mind wandered about how ridiculous large corporations are.

Now, before you get all judgmental about the cliche-ness of that last statement, I'd like the opportunity to explain what the hell I'm talking about.

I guess you could blame Michael Moore, sort of, for getting me on this tangent.

It all started yesterday when I was at work. You know, where I should have been doing work. Well I was sort of, but I also was watching Bowling for Columbine on my iPhone (because Netflix is really all you need when it comes to film and TV .... well, that and a good private tracker — still waiting, Ben). Anyway, after I finished that "film", I began watching (at the recommendation of Netflix I might add) a film called Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.

And so began my spiral into this weird state of feeling utterly helpless.
