What Would Sam (Walton) Do?

The Berliner Zeitung reported that the new German government will consider a measure to forbid retailers from selling food "below cost." The goal would be to stop large supermarket chains (Aldi in particular) from underselling small grocers and driving them out of business.

The measure has the support of both the Conservatives and the Socialists.

All I can say is, wow. Looks like we're not in Kansas (or Missouri) anymore, Toto.
