Walmart pay.

I do not believe that happened or could happen and your left wing documentary movie is telling you a story.

I don't get opinions from phoney documentaries. And I certainly don't believe the skewed opinion of the one you linked.

 

Dude, it's not from one documentary that I base my opinion of Walmart..it's from life experiences. Yeah..gimme a break.

I need electric....hmmmmm. Well, only one company to get electric from so, guess I'll go with them. Gimme a break.

No, you simply want to tout the corporate conglomerate, monopolistic agenda, unopposed. The documentaries are phony, but you're completely on the up and up. I got it.

 

The mafia had a 'good business' at one time too.

 

Nope, I do not. I advocate for good business, employees and ordinary people.

You advocate against business and your opinions are skewed so far from reality it is eating out your guts.

Why should I leave it from that when the nonsense you post is not a reality?

You have been witness to many corporate indiscretions according to you. So far you have not stated a single case in which that was a valid description.

I think that when businesses tend to be good corporate citizens I support them. You throw out that possibility no matter how little you actually know about what you think you know. I don't like bad corporate activity either, I just recognize that your broad brush of what is bad takes in the great majority of corporate activities which are in fact not the evil you claim it is.

 

What's wrong with Walmarts pay? If you don't like it, don't work there.

 

Dude, I don't believe you.

Nope, I just want let some bitter corporate hating beyond reason person get away with maligning good business.

I do note that every time someone joins a thread in which you are screaming out your hatred and bitterness and show you your error, you go elsewhere and start over with your garbage.

Now that I accept. You finally said something which speaks the facts.

 

I don't like my electric company's high rates, but I'm sorta stuck with them, ya know? Oh, and I'd eat dogsheet and shoot myself in the head before I ever worked for Walmart, (just to be clear).

I have hatred and bitterness to corporate monopolies, crushing society for profit. You noticed that. Congratulations.

 

Can you please tell me how your electric company's rates are related to the pay of employees of a company you don't work for.

 

A Mom & Pop convenience store...or "general store" as they used to be called...will still only pay minimum wage to their employees and probably no benefits of any kind.

Would the Wal-mart "thugs" on this thread who demand $15.00 per hour from the Corporate "pigs" at Wal-mart extort Mom & Pop for more money also?

Pay me a living wage or else.

Where in the U.S. Constitution is it demanded every job pay a living wage?

You can take the job and the pay, or you can reject it and walk away.

 

The Constitution has been rendered irrelevant, via the Patriot Act, for starters, and at least those wages stay in the community, helping IT, versus corporate profiteers.

People need to unite, in mass, and exercise their power. Call in sick at every Walmart across America, TOMORROW.

 

I'm sorry, RtWngaFraud, but I can't take your communist rambling more than five minues. No proof, no coherence, and a rediculous call to action.

If you want me to take you more seriously, please tell me why you belive things, not just what you believe.

 

Well, perhaps you can take the Walmart advocate's approach that is always suggested to me and, don't take it!! Read and respond to somebody else that better suits your reality. I've only read your ramblings for about a minute, and I already 'can't take' any more.

 

Click on link to see electric rates across the country, which are lower now than in the 1930s.

Very clear, you will cut off your nose to spite your face.

I hate the same things, so what is your excuse for asserting that most corporations do those things when they don't?

 

You mean Australia where a pack of smokes is $20, and it costs $18 to eat at an 'inexpensive' restaurant? Where a crappy VW golf costs almost $30,000? Where a 1 bedroom flat in the city costs $2000/mo? Where a pair of blue jeans is over $100? That Australia?

 

I see you can't convince most others that Walmart and most Corporations are the evil monopolistic demons you believe they are. Good for them, seeing through your haze of bitterness and hatred.

 

Despite your little map, I'm still stuck with ONE electric company.

Yup, I'm stupid that way. If I gotta go, the corporate profits come with me.


MOST corporations DO exactly that. Whether it's a 'non profit' monopolistic hospital, a Walmart, or an electric company, they all manipulate the highest profit possible while simultaneously burying the very patrons that enrich them. No such thing as 'fair play'. No such thing as 'mutual satisfaction' .Only the biggest, fattest, and plumpest profit possible, way ahead of anything else. That's corporate America, and that is why we're all dead, and already in the soup lines. We just don't realize it yet.

Well, that's one perception. Another has to do with intelligence but, another story for another thread, I suppose.

 

So you can see that you do not pay particularly high electric prices, so why the complaint?

You said it.

Go where?

No they don't. Your narrow minded blindered opinions tend to call for "absolutes" which don't exist outside of your small set of understandings.

Only in your warped thinking.

Your opinions may apply to a few companies, but not to most. I won't deal with a company like that and I have done consulting with over 500 companies, none of which match your warped opinion of them.

I tend to agree that you are a low intelligent poster and I derive that from the warped opinions you keep posting about corporate America.

 

That is because electric companies are natural monopolies which are closely regulated by each state to prevent over charging.

I like good corporate citizens. I despise those which are not. Your blindered hatred for all corporations reflects on your ability to see the trees for the forest.

 

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." I see.

 

There is a significant difference between the power company and corporations like Walmart. The power company has a legal monopoly - the state or city has granted them exclusive rights to power distribution, and has made it illegal for other companies to try to compete.

With companies like Walmart it is very different. The local government did give them permission to open, but didn't grant them exclusive rights. The other companies were still there doing business and were given the opportunity to compete with Walmart. The only reason that Walmart survived and the others failed was because customers chose to shop at Walmart instead of the other companies.

With legal monopolies like the power company, the people have no choice. With Walmart and other, similar corporations, the people had a choice. They picked Walmart over the other companies. In the places that other companies went out of business, it was because people preferred Walmart so much that the other businesses eventually failed.

 

Sorry, I missed your fantastic response the first time around.

Both corporate entities, either monopolistic, or trying to become monopolistic, and because they are a monopoly, they dictate rates, pay people whatever they want, because they have no competition. You know "competition"? That magical thing that was supposed to happen when mega corporation after mega corporation merged to 'better serve us'?

I'll simplify it for you. BOTH are monopolistic pigs.

 

You obviously have never witnessed how a Walmart comes into a town and takes it over completely, and ELIMINATING any choice. Yes, the electric company versus the Walmart ARE different, in that one (supposedly) is a free market, and the other is a monopolistic empire (I'll let you figure out which is which, if you can see a distinction). When Walmart comes to down, everything dies.Maybe not in high population areas, but for sure, in lower populous regions. When they move in next to say, a Food Lion, or wherever, shortly thereafter, that store (Food Lion) closes. Why do you think that is?

 

How do I know what high prices are, when there is no competition? How WOULD I know? Your little map is all well and good but, apples to apples, bub. You seem to be stuck on this word "most". Some, but not most. Okay..what constitutes MOST, and SOME? Give me your definition of both, if you can.

- - - Updated - - -

To you, 'good corporate citizen' must mean something really far fetched. What scale do you use for that?

 

It is quite obvious why the other stores, such as the Food Lion, close a year or two after Walmart moves in - because people choose to shop at the Walmart instead of the Food Lion. That just means that Walmart offers something that people want more than what Food Lion offers. It isn't some conspiracy or force on the part of Walmart. They don't force the businesses next door out of business. The businesses die off because they fail to draw in customers. Walmart draws the customers, and the other businesses fail.

If the customers agreed with your thinking, they would have continued to shop at the Food Lion instead of the new Walmart. If they had chosen to do that, Walmart would have been the ones to die off and the Food Lion would have survived.
