Fellow countrymen? Being an apparant liberal, you must know how tied up with the Chinese government that Walmart is right? I'm a fairly conservative guy and I dont support the blatant and outright disregard for the american worker those guys that run wally world participate in.
They dont even try to buy American made products anymore. In fact, WalMarts CEO said on national television if you dont build in China.. you dont sell at Walmart.
In the name of keeping costs low as possible.. but its more than likely part of a behind the scenes handshaking with the chinese government officials.
The money they gave? More of a way to say "sorry for selling out our nation.. notice we dont even advertise that we buy American whenever possible like we used to advertise.. yeah.. we're sorry.. take a miniscule portion of the profits we've made from selling out the USA at every opportunity possible"
Other corporations do at least try to produce product in America.
John Deere for instance. And part of their success is due to being "so American".
WalMart no longer can use the red, white and blue colors without Red bleeding all over the place.
As to your rambling....Dude, here's a quarter....buy a clue with it.
It wasnt rambling, it was fairly concise in explaining how people like you think.
Liberals hate corporations business practices....not the existance of corporations themselves.
Could have fooled me. It is the existence of corporations regardless.
Reason? A corporation exist for the sole purpose of generating profit. That means that at the end of the day
Wal-Mart has continually abused the system and gone as far as shutting down stores completely to avoid the presence of unions which would force them to increase their wages. That is evil. Hell, that is almost the Webster-Merriam definition of evil.
Thats not evil. Unions are the evil.
The unions are a large part of the reason globalization has taken hold. It costs General Motors
ONE TENTH of the cost to build in China as it does here in the USA.
Most companys (besides WalMart) will TRY to build in the USA if its price-competitive enough to do so at all.. but at 1/10th the cost.. the North American price structure has failed.
Unions had their time, that time is long over. Its destroying America.
Soon a lot of uneducated Americans with good Union jobs will have no jobs. Pay cuts and benefit cuts are necessary or the corporations will continue to exit.
Theres no way around this. Unions and the government will have to make the USA more cost-competitive or die.
If they dont, instead of a pay-cut, they will be without a job at all. But Unions appear to be willing to sink the ship they float with.
Its a shame.
As I move up my corporations ladder, every chance I've gotten I've pushed robots and outsourcing. Anything to prevent a new union job. Its not like we dont offer immediate 30-year retirement for those who lose jobs, and have always offered 100% payment of any higher education endeavors that someone takes.
But you'd be amazed at how lazy and disregarding of education many Americans are today. Its pathetic. Can't even hand it to them. But we need people to create the robots and keep them running.. so there are plenty of jobs there.. just requires the population to become more educated than most are currently willing to become.
The day of running a hammer and making good money is soon to be over. Sorry to tell you, and the unions.
Gas companies have continued to raise prices at a clip that is over a 2:1 percentage increase of what their cost increases have been. That is evil explotation of the consumer.
Evil is a misused word there. Though a liberal would consider "evil" to equate to profit in nearly every.
There are unethical businesses, like the gas situation and walmart. But not evil.
Thats calling capitalism evil, because walmart and the gas companies are totally capitalistic as they should be.
Not evil, they have to turn a profit and make money or die. No jobs is worse.
As for the comments about personal responsibility being something that liberals hate, I have a couple of questions for you.....
We could go back and forth on that forever, like anything. But its the liberals who are always saying the wrath of katrina is someone elses fault. Either bush's or whoever.. thats ridiculous.. in the end if you dont get up and get out of town its your own decision.
You choose to live in a disaster ridden area, you deserve to face the consequences. Its not 1430AD anymore.. we know that a place below sea level is a dangerous place to be sitting.
Thats where the buck needs to stop.
Usually its the conservatives that agree with me more often than a liberal on that statement.
