    Walmart does not profit from Sears either, and how does Walmart destroy Sears? By providing customers with better prices and better service.

but if that doesn't work, there's always this

and this

and this

and this

...and so on.

    Walmart doesn’t bomb its enemies or threaten customers, it lets customers decide which retailer treats them best.

That's cute.

But

Some

Might

Disagree

EDIT: I appreciate the irony of your using the U.S. Census as an example of hostile government overreach. Given that the point of the census is to figure out how to allocate public moneys most equitably and efficiently. And that the government is constitutionally bound to conduct census- that is, beholden to the people. And that incentives and disincentives to behavior are cooked into just about every corporation, public or private. Were you being ironic?
