I read your and your buddies' posts. Don't you people actually read the crazy stuff you write?
Nah, you read it off of one of the polyps in your colon... Clearly this is the source of all your ideas...

The companies that failed to adapt eh ? Lets see, oh how about the pharmacy that was run out of business or was attempted to be run out of business by Walmart in a small town for just one of many examples we could find in the monopolizing of the US markets by the club ? Remember Wal-mart dropped it's pharmacutical prices below cost in hopes to hold them there until the little guy crumbled and failed was the case. The little guy caught them at it, and it was on, but of course Wal-mart was to big to feel the punishment or the rage in the situation. Yes there are many more cases to site, but we don't have the time nor the space to do so.Wow you just listed some of the members of the club... LOLThat "good ole boy" system sure put Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yahoo and other rogues out of business, didn't they? It offends me that Westinghouse, General Electric, AT&T, Xerox and Hewlett-Packard did that.
Oh wait.
My bad.
They didn't.
What happened to the thousands more that should be listed also ? Oh that's right the club is exclusive not inclusive as people might think that it is or maybe they want people to think they are when their not, but hec I don't know I might be dreaming about it all.
Hmmm seems I remember the government bringing what some sort of an (anti-trust???) lawsuit against Microsoft not so long ago, and they won that suit didn't they ? Didn't Microsoft have to make consessions in that suit or something ? The others have been on the hot seat also haven't they ?
Yep, the club that was Westinghouse, General Electric, AT&T, Xerox and Hewlett-Packard. I suppose the new club includes Microsoft, Apple, Google and Yahoo.
It's almost paranoid to claim to call them a "club".
Disruptive technologies have always leaped and smart companies have always embraced new tech/ideas.
I could have listed thousands more, but I have neither the time nor desire to do so. Just like I didn't list the extinct companies that failed to adapt.
How much are we willing to sacrifice Christie Waltons lifestyle to ensure the people running the stores that create her profits are compensated to support their family and not receive welfare.
Anyone who has seen the Documentary on Wal-Mart knows that Wal-Mart pushes it's Managers to give under paid employee's Welfare paper "hand outs" when they ask for a raise.
Why is it ok that Christie keeps so much yet the tax payers have to compensate for America's biggest employer?
You must be new to the thread, because we covered this already.
First off, you are *NOT* going to sacrifice Christie Walton lifestyle no matter what you do. There is no law you can make, no regulation you can enforce, that is going to cause Christie Walton the slightest discomfort.
You keep forgetting... she OWNS this company. If she and her fellow owners, are not compensated to the degree they wish, they could close the company, walk off with billions, and retire to small island with private servants to spend the rest of their lives in luxury.
Do you want jobs, or not? Do you want Walmart's 2.1 Million employees employed, or not?
It's like just yesterday, a guy at work was b!tch and moaning about the CEO going out and buying stuff for a work trip to Florida, and how wasteful it was.
Whether it was or not, is irrelevant. It's not his money. It's not your money. It's not your company. What part of this do you people on the left not get? It's not yours! "well blaw blaw blaw" Doesn't matter. IT IS NOT YOUR MONEY.
We used to have this concept in America "Nonya". Nonya business. You have no right whatsoever to talk about what other people should do with their money. Nonya.
And we both know right now, that if I came to your home and started complaining "you shouldn't have that, you could feed 15 orphan kids in Uganda with that money! You shouldn't buy those things. That's wasteful! How dare you spend all that money! Blaw blaw"
If I did that, you would tell me to shut up, and get off your property... AND RIGHTLY SO. It's none of my business what you do with your money.
How about we start applying those fundamentals to business owners as well? Nonya business what they do with their money. How America ended up with such nosy busy-bodies that run around sticking their fingers in everyone's business, is beyond me. How did we end up with such childish pathetic whiny people in our culture?
Secondly, and I have said this numerous times, any chain business, is setup so that each individual store is a separate business.
I don't know why this concept is so hard. Each store.... is run like a separate business. If your store doesn't have $10,000 extra, so that you can get a raise, then you can't get a raise. Doesn't matter what Walmart Corporate has. They could have TRILLIONS of dollars.
Your individual store has to make, or break payroll on it's own. Your store has to pay out it expenses alone. Doesn't matter what Corporate has. Corporate could have trillions, and if your individual store doesn't have money to pay you more, then it can't pay you more. Period.
And this last point proves it.
Thirdly, and this has been mentioned dozens of times, every single time that you try and harm the company, you only harm yourself.
I said at the very start, you are not going to 'sacrifice Christie Walton's lifestyle', and I meant it.
Every time that you pass a law, the only result is that the people harmed are yourself.
The reason is because every single penny that a company gets, is either by paying employees less, or charging customers more. And every time you pass a higher minimum wage, that is exactly what happens.
I was working at Wendy's back in the 90s. After Clinton increased the minimum wage, over the next year or two, Wendy's fired off all their part time employees. The remaining employees had to cover the jobs the fired employees did.
Further, they slowly over months and month, reduced the portion sizes. They shrank the size of the small medium and large, and then introduced the "Biggie" size with a higher price. The Biggie was actually the size of the original large. Large became the size of the medium, and the Medium the small, and Small was eliminated. For several years, Wendy's only had a medium, large and Biggie size drinks and fries.
In other words, they increased their prices.
Fast forward to today. Same thing happened after 2009. I just read an article just last week, that the average employees per Walmart store in 2007 when the minimum wage was $5.25, was 330 employees per store.
In 2010, when the minimum wage was up to $7.25, the average number of employees per store, was down to 270.
Walmart has 11,000 locations. That's a loss of 60 jobs per store. That's over half a million unemployed people that could have had jobs.
Now who 'sacrificed lifestyle' because of that minimum wage increase? Christie Walton? Or those half million unemployed? (hint: Not Christie. She's doing fine)
I just read yesterday, the retailers across the country are reducing the net-weight of consumer goods. So a box of Cherios at the store, now holds less Cherios, for the same price.
Again, who is 'sacrificing lifestyle' because of that minimum wage increase? Christie Walton? Or the 300 million people of the US that now have to pay a higher price for goods? (hint: Not Christie.)
Minimum wage hurts absolutely everyone, and especially the employees, EXCEPT for the rich and wealthy.
When you try and hurt the rich and wealthy, the only one you hurt is the poor and middle class. That's the way it ALWAYS works.
......
Christie Walton is worth $36.7 Billion. Now, did she make all that money herself or was there a team involved that helped her make it?
Do YOU think she will become "unrich" if she allows Wal-Mart to pay a decent wage? Ever do the math on how much 1 billion split to all employee's in one year would do? (Of course this would make her only $35.7 Billion rich, what a struggle)
Big Corporations like Wal-Mart can buy media to convince small minds that their workers don't deserve a raise. And most buy it because we focus on the new workers, not the veteran workers.
They are also the reason for so much outsourcing.
America is a Monopoly today.
So it's time to start wondering why Christie Walton will be so upset when she only makes $35.7 Billion instead of this movement today questioning why Wal-Mart workers should be paid more. It's complete ignorance of business. What if she made only 1 Billion AND THE REST WENT TO HER WORKERS! OMG DRAMA!. SHE WOULD BE SO POOR!
How much are we willing to sacrifice Christie Waltons lifestyle to ensure the people running the stores that create her profits are compensated to support their family and not receive welfare.
Anyone who has seen the Documentary on Wal-Mart knows that Wal-Mart pushes it's Managers to give under paid employee's Welfare paper "hand outs" when they ask for a raise.

You sit there and say that the money in which is earned and is produced by the workers in which are working there after all is said and done, and in which has helped to make these people rich beyond their wildest dreams ((don't also have a stake in the fairness of the dividing process and/or that it doesn't belong to the workers in some kind of way unless it is mercifully given out to them in the situation, and this by hopefully a fair and just owner or management team that is running the plantation)) ?? It just as well beongs to everyone else who is part of the good ole boy chain or process after it is divided up supposedly, and this in a fair and decent manor or way they would say, so why not the workers to be included (respectfully) in a fair and decent way also ?
So you are an advocate of slavery, where as the master and his minions own the plantation, and how dare a slave even think that the master should be more fair than what he is when passing out the bread crumbs at the end of the day. Now we get it...
You take something simple in concept and in honesty, and then you spin it for your puppet masters like a sell out soldier would do, and for whom is then waiting later for your better fluffy cot to sleep on, and a good hot meal to come very soon afterwards.You must be new to the thread, because we covered this already.

Still doesn't matter. It's not yours. If I came to your home, and starting telling you, that you shouldn't have this or that, you tell me to get lost, and rightly so.
Nothing else matters. All that crap you wrote.... doesn't matter. Not yours.
FAIR is what you and the employer agree on.
If you agree to a wage, and employer pays you that wage, that's fair.
You can't say "well I'll agree to it, and that's not fair and they should pay more".
If I agree to mow your lawn for $35, and then the following week say "That's not fair, I demand $200!". What are you going to tell me? Get lost, and rightly so.
We had an agreement. If I want to end that agreement, and offer a new deal, that's fine but you have the right to reject that.
The money in your pocket, is not mine, that I can make demands. Right? Or wrong?
See, if this happened to you, you'd be screaming about it. But because it's happening to someone else, you think you have a point. But if the tables were turned, you'd have a fit about it.
And again...... you can not rationally connect this with slavery. You tell me how many slaves during plantation days, went an applied for a job, and then agreed to a wage?
You can't go fill out an application to get a job, then agree to a wage, and then start screaming "I AM A SLAVE! WAH!" Bull crap!
This isn't China. There is no Communist official saying "go work in the rice patty until you die". You can walk off the job, and nothing will happen. I know, I've done it. You can go find another job. You can learn a skill that pays more.
All that slave crap, is just that. Turds that need flushed down the drain. It's not relevant, or intellectually honest.
You take something simple in concept and in honesty, and then you spin it for your puppet masters like a sell out soldier would do, and for whom is then waiting later for your better fluffy cot to sleep on, and a good hot meal to come very soon afterwards.You sit there and say that the money in which is earned and is produced by the workers in which are working there after all is said and done, and in which has helped to make these people rich beyond their wildest dreams ((don't also have a stake in the fairness of the dividing process and/or that it doesn't belong to the workers in some kind of way unless it is mercifully given out to them in the situation, and this by hopefully a fair and just owner or management team that is running the plantation)) ??

Meanwhile your fellow soldiers are fighting the good fight outside of the trenches like real men do for their freedom, and for their honor. You know what my post meant and how it is to be interpreted correctly, but you act as if it meant something different when you know good and well what it meant.
Ya see, Conservatives aren't into groupspeak. I have no control over, no responsibility for and no duty comply with what another Conservative says.
My goal is to stop you from enslaving children to work in your coal mine.So your goal isn't to improve the lives of the low end workers, but rather to eliminate their jobs and force them on to welfare?
Well aren't you quite the accomplished fellow.
You achieved your goal before you were even born.
You know, back in 1865 when slavery ended in the US.
Admirable
What amendment would that be? Please indicate with quotes how you have arrived at your opinion.Well aren't you quite the accomplished fellow.
You achieved your goal before you were even born.

I am a zombie, you know. It's kind of hard to tell when I was born.
In any case, it is evident that the person to whom I responded would like to repeal a number of laws, and maybe an amendment or two.

Their profits come from having an innovative business model that others try to emulate.
Depressions are fun and appearantly don't teach others the problems that cause them!
Sure because lowering dividends and lessening stock prices probably wouldn't be similar to the collapsing stock prices that set off the Great Depression. All this "living wage" nonsense is a more indirect version of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of June 1930--it prices American goods out of the global market places instead of taxing them out of it, but to the same end.

I don't believe in raising the minimum wage. I simply believe in a fair days pay for a fair days work.
Sure, it's a good business model. Outsource everything you can and pay your workers as little as possible. Lot's of profit for BUSINESS, not so much gain for America..
Since there is no competition just go down to the port and give a couple desperate people a penny or two and have them work for you. THE WORKERS ARE REPLACEABLE, (R)ight, so treat them and pay them as scum.
Eventually, the workers are going to wise up and demand their worth. History repeats itself.
