“Obama plans to declare Marshall Law and put us in FEMA camps for his 3rd term. It is rumored the Walmarts will be used to store the people.”
Would I get to select which department in Walmart that I will be stored?
I thinking electronics would best. I would hate to end up in that cheap jewelry section.
To: Vince Ferrer
but what repair would take a highly competant company like WalMart six months to complete?
Face it. Walmart could land on the moon in 6 months if it had to. I don't think this is a giant FEMA conspiracy, but the "plumbing problem" is a lie.

Someone in the comments section on Zerohedge speculated that the “plumbing issues” claim is simply a standard way for a company to get around notification requirements of 2 months before closing.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/29/2102
“(A) An employer may order a plant closing or mass layoff before the conclusion of the 60-day period if the closing or mass layoff is caused by business circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable as of the time that notice would have been required.”
So why they want to close 5 stores in a hurry?
To save on labor costs, or because inventories are low and prices are rising? 5 stores is a very tiny portion of the 4500 they have.

I don't think it is FEMA either, I think it is just that they have decided to close some stores, and have tried to pick an inconspicuous way to do it. But it got noticed.
Walmart to the rescue: Private Enterprises Response to Hurricane Katrina
I can't see a chain that can handle Katrina suddenly being out gunned by a plumbing problem. They would not inconvenience their customers, or allow competitors to get an advantage for six whole months if there was just a plumbing problem.
To: chuckles
Although it is odd, it is possible that this was a planned attack on Wal-Mart. Hit the stores simultaneously and hit their plumbing, so they are forced to close.
Hopefully somebody will keep us apprised.

That still does not explain the SIX MONTH estimated down time, or the fact that none of the affected stores seem to have applied for the necessary repair permits yet.

I don’t know enough about plumbing to question the length of time, if the problem is deep enough.
I also don’t know how quick even a company like Wal-Mart could line up contractors and get all the permits and whatever else they need to do, if they have this problem.
Also, just because they say they will be closed for six months, it may not be. They might be giving an ETA to ensure the problem is definitely taken care of.

Well, if you think a multi-billion dollar company is going to close stores (with attendant bad publicity), fire thousands of workers and lose millions of sales for half a year because of "deep plumbing" issues, please don't let me stop you!

You don’t think that a multinational corporation wouldn’t close 6 stores (or whatever it was) if they were hit with corporate terrorism that was deep enough?
They won’t even most of those sales because most of those customers would just go to the nearest one.
None of us know what is going on, so anything said, whether it be union-busting or corporate terrorism or a workaround of labour laws, we don’t know.

Try to stay focused. What I said was (post 23)
I don't think this is a giant FEMA conspiracy, but the "plumbing problem" is a lie.
Next time pay attention.

We don’t know if it’s a lie. We don’t know anything. I did not agree that it was a plumbing problem. I’m just going to take the corporation’s word until we know for certain.

You must get around to have visited the county or local offices from Florida to California to know they have not applied for permits. Even if that was the truth, the company they hire would have to file the permits and often wally’s contractors are out of state and would need time assembling crews and filing permits. Trust me that I do know for fact.
