You certainly have to give Wal-Mart props for using their massive logistics system to do some good for the people who needed it. You almost have to wonder whether, in the next massive disaster (whatever/whenver it occurs), that FEMA will just contract this sort of thing out to Wal-Mart from the very beginning. (With a no-bid contract, naturally.)

None of this, of course, makes up for any of Wal-Mart's other market misbehavior.
