'[Walmart] is the most successful social welfare system ever implemented, saving billions and billions of dollars for everyday Americans without costing taxpayers a dime.'

Pictures

Nice pictures. There is a definite constistency to the set, but I can't quite put my finger on it. "Peace and harmony" - but how that is technially expressed in terms of what layout/symmetry/colours/subject/etc. I don't know.
