I see the people who want to outlaw Walmart as this kind of situation.

I don't know who this remark is directed towards. I don't want to outlaw Wal-Mart. I just believe that the sweetness of buying low-priced imported products is short-term thinking. We are, quite literally, transferring our wealth and security to other countries at an amazing rate.
Wal-Mart is far from the only company that besieges retail with imported products. (In fact, it's often difficult to find products built in the USA.) Coupled with their questionable employee policies, Wal-Mart is just one of the most egregious examples, in my opinion.

In this cut and paste world, it can be difficult to realize that not everything we see in print is directed toward us individually. The person that remark was directed to was the person in the very next sentence. The post was clear if read without the presumption that everything written is about someone not named. In this case, the named and specific person of example was the Mayor of Boston.
