and is beginning to run on inertia.


I don’t know. They’re trying to give amazon a run for its money though their on-line store. Free shipping on orders over $35 and free delivery to a local Walmart on all orders.

Why don’t you double check the PRC thing. I think 30% of Walmart goods are Chinese manufacture.

They are one of the largest customers for the company I work for and our stuff is almost all US made. IIRC, only 2-3 SKU’s out of a few thousand are PRC

“Why don’t you double check the PRC thing. I think 30% of Walmart goods are Chinese manufacture.”

Thanks... I stand corrected, maybe the hard hard goods bear the Made in China logo.

Truth be told, the bulk of my shopping is Walmart for convenience and Food Lion as the seasonal traffic and crowds at Walmart dictate. But I have to shop L.L Bean for clothes for Tall sizes.

We shop a lot at Walmart. The only other store in town is Target and I refuse to shop there.

There’s a great grocery store in town but the owner said he doesn’t want the business of gun owners so I oblige him.

Aldi and Walmart for food then. Lidl just opened up but we’ve only gone there once.

“Until the working class unites politically and industrially to overthrow its exploiters and establish social ownership and democratic workers’ control of the means of production, it is only taking back what it, and past generations of workers, created. “

All it takes is a belief in Democracy or “Mobocracy”, a 50% +1 vote will lead to expropriation of all property. Then, the Mob gets what was stolen from them (Property is Theft, afterall). A Worker’s Paradise every time!! So they think....

“These workers need and deserve a seat at the table,”

What right does he have, telling a private corporation how to run its business?

I support this plan so long as the board member seat is a rotating position filled by a cashier selected at random, that board member is allowed to bring her kids if she cannot find a sitter, and that the boardroom dress code be modified to accommodate cookie monster pajama bottoms. And also the board meetings will be livestreamwd on the internet.

I’ll never understand what spell a person has to be under to follow dopes like Bernie and his ideologies.

When I was hired there was 8 people in my orientation class. When I quit a year later, one person remained.

That tells you a lot about work conditions at Walmart.

Walmart treats their employees well - even helps place those who are moving into new stores which has helped a number of military spouses ...
