DC's Minimum Wage Really Does Cost Jobs At Walmart

[The Rabbi]

I have several questions:

Why do liberals not understand that as a business you cannot keep a store operating that is losing money?

If it was making money, why would you close it?

Are you people honestly that stupid?

If Walmarts have such RAZOR THIN profits, why does it make BILLIONS every year?
Someone's math is off.

If Walmarts have such RAZOR THIN profits, why does it make BILLIONS every year?

Last year, $485 billion in revenue, $16.8 billion in net income.
Less than 3.5% of sales.

Maybe not razor thin. None the less still billions in net income.

I bet you had some other point you were trying to make? What was it?

Idiots pretend they have huge profits. Their margins are not that large.
Adding some actual facts to the discussion. You're welcome.

Then I suggest the Waltons go into a better line of business.
Or maybe without Sam they don't have the skillset.
Get the sarcasm?

I'd suggest you get your head out of your ass. WalMart is the biggest retailer in the US. THat didnt happen by being bad at what they do.

Or they can ignore the idiotic suggestions of idiots.

Don't talk about yourself that way.
Now back to your continuous snide, upper crust remarks that slum residents can ALWAYS find another job.
Apparently they CAN'T.

Low skilled workers can't always find another job.
That's why the damage caused by moronic DC politicians is so serious.
Now that WalMart won't build new stores and hire inner city DCers, I'm sure the welfare benefits paid will decline.
Because "no jobs" is preferred to "low paying jobs".

How bout not raising the min wage and have them continue to get some help on top of it? One can't live on $12 an hour.

I, for one, have NO desire to subsidize an entity belonging to billionaires.

Here's a map of the Walmart closings. Almost all are in the South, which are not high minimum wage states.

Busted! lol

Here’s a list and map of all the Walmart store closings in the US

Almost all? Depends on what you call the south. I'm sure you'll include places that aren't to twist your claim but that's your prerogative.

Look at the map and then you tell us what your parameters are that would make my claim false.

You said almost al are in the South. By doing that, you must set the parameters of what you define as the South. Until you make that distinction, no need for me to set parameters. Your claim, your responsibility.

So your big contribution to this debate is to protest common knowledge over what in normal conversation the reference to the 'the South' is?

Jesus Christ you people get more retarded every day.

If it's so common you wouldn't have a problem saying it. Since you won't, it seems you people get more cowardly every day.

You made the claim dickhead, support it. Trying to pass off on me what you're unwilling to do proves your idiocy.

The former Confederacy. Happy now?

Looks like 5 of the closings are in Tennessee. What's the astronomical minimum wager there?

You can figure this out for yourself.
Or maybe you cant.

Fewer people being taught how to go on Medicaid and Food Stamps...Sounds good to me.

What the fuck you talking about? The stores they were going to open up was around 450 jobs. Where their is no FUCKING jobs.

The three stores that opened up in the D.C. area had like 5,000 applicants for only 300 jobs if memory serves me correctly.

They would have closed them a year later because of profit/loss ratios....

The government isn't sending welfare checks to WalMart, it is sending them to poor people in the inner city.
More to those who don't have jobs at WalMart, thanks to moronic DC pols.

We're currently talking about moronic pols in DC.
If you have examples of moronic suburban pols causing WalMart to change construction plans, please provide them.

You are doing applying an extra, non-essential extension.
The FACT that Walmart relies, in ANY way whatsoever, on tax payer subsidies, means they are failing.

There are Walmarts in DC. Are they closing or what?
