Voting with your money part IV - WalMart again

I’ve written previously about WalMart going green. Now I find more news about WalMart that is improving my opinion of the corporate leviathan: According to BBC News they’re insisting on better quality standards from their suppliers.

This may end up driving prices up a bit, but it will probably lead to cost savings in the long run. It’s got to be expensive to recall products with safety issues. If they can eliminate those costs maybe it will balance out.

And if this these initiatives get people like me to shop at WalMart (I spent about $10 there on Sunday, actually) then that’s a net gain for the company, too.
