OK, Admiral. Jillian has answered your question.Walmart has decided not to build some of the stores that it had said it would inWashington DC.
Snip
The reason Walmart isn’t going to open those new stores:
Evans said that, behind closed doors, Walmart officials were more frank about the reasons the company was downsizing. He said the company cited the District’s rising minimum wage, now at $11.50 an hour and possibly going to $15 an hour if a proposed ballot measure is successful in November. He also said a proposal for legislation requiring D.C. employers to pay into a fund for family and medical leave for employees, and another effort to require a minimum amount of hours for hourly workers were compounding costs and concerns for the retailer.
*snip*
it was time for awl-mart to stop using us to subsidize it's workers health care and food costs
the walton family didn't lose money. and there are still four of them in the ten wealthiest people in the world. so i'm pretty sure they didn't close the stores because of a little bit higher wages.
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?
i will do the jewish talmudic method and ask a question in response to your question.
why do right-wingers believe that they aren't being sold a bill of goods designed to screw workers and keep us competing wage wise with mexico?
see, if that whole loss of profit thing were true then the wealth of the top 1% wouldn't be so much proportionately higher than it used to be while workers wages have flatlined for decades. see the problem with the way it's presented by the right?
plus, everywhere minimum wage is raised, businesses do just fine.
why would they close it? the express awl-marts were a mistake anyway and would have closed regardless.
or maybe people don't shoot at wal-mart so much anymore because people like me won't shop there because of how they treat their workers and what happens to communities when they open shop.
you people?
meh... less absurd than you people defending the right of four of the richest people in the world to exploit their workers.

Yes, she really is that stupid. She doesnt understand what Talmud is. She doesnt understand what business is. She doesnt understand wealth. She doesnt understand economics. And she pretends she's a lawyer on here, a claim so laughable I want her to repeat it.

I hadn't read you post when I typed my response and I think we nailed it!
Yes good sheeple, shop more at Walmart and make Alice Walton even richer. She's only a crazy evil bitch who killed a good man and cost another one his job. All Walmart-Worshippers should read up on Alice Walton's bloody sordid history. It might change their perspective a bit. Walmart was spawned from evil, and is evil. Don't give more of your hard-earned money to scum like Alice Walton. Shop elsewhere.
Like I said before, you know that other people have stock in Walmart other than the Waltons. Right?
Not interested in making scum like Alice Walton richer. I choose to shop elsewhere. And i actually kinda enjoy shoping now. Walmart's a miserable hellhole. I don't miss it at all.
Who in their right mind likes shopping? Walmart, Target, Costco, Home Depot all suck. Who can standing going into those places, give me a small mom and pop, you pay more but you support a local people.

Yeah, large chain stores suck so bad that when I needed a shower faucet handle I went to a local store to find a replacement and paid $7.00. Lowe's sells them for less than $4.00. As a highly underpaid public school teacher, I can't afford to pay almost double.
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.
The Walmarts would have closed down other retail outlets losing over 450 jobs, as always happens.
Those damn DC stores have been in the news for the pass 4 years at least and if you botherd to read the link ( which you are to dumb that you won't) They are pissed because they spent 90 million tax dollars for the up grades for additional stores
"to dumb"
Classic.
Here since you refuse to read the link
But news that Walmart would pull out of two supercenters planned for east of the Anacostia River, where its wares and jobs are wanted most, shocked D.C. leaders. In one case, the city had already committed $90 million to make a development surrounding one of the stores viable

Higher minimum wages mean fewer jobs as companies that would have expanded do not. And note again that not only do the workers not gain those higher wages the consumers also lose out on their benefits.
The correct minimum wage is, as it always has been, $0 per hour, as once even the New York Times knew.
Snip
The positive effect on consumers is some 50 times the possibly negative effect on the workers’ wages. That’s an effect of such size that no reworking of the numbers is going to reverse the conclusion. Yes, low price goods aid consumers more than low wages hurt workers. This is not a belief, this is a fact.
DC's Minimum Wage Really Does Cost Jobs At Walmart

disappointing if you think it did. i thought you had more on the ball than that.

but was long as i now know what you are, i'll stop bother discussing anything with you since clearly you aren't up to it.
closing 100 stores. wow those progressive/lib/democrats are just wonderful for bringing in JOBS for you eh?
You would think since Costco is the liberal poster child on here, they would have jumped at the chance to open stores in the DC market before Walmart arrived, wonder why they didn't do that?
Nope...Walmart specializes in moving in and driving better paying businesses out of business.So? What point are you addressing?
Your point, that more WalMarts are not needed because YOU have some convenient to you.
What is it with the fact that you don't understand that where these WalMarts were to be located there were NO other businesses, let alone better paying ones!!!!!!!!!
My Federal Taxes go to subsidize the Waltons.
Fuck the Waltons.
Blame the Waltons for NOT BEING NICE ENOUGH TO PAY THEIR WORKERS ENOUGH TO LIVE IN A SLUM.
Don't get angry at me.
No they don't. If people don't want to work for the Waltons, no one is forcing them. IN fact, all the higher minimum wage does is prevent them from accepting a job they are qualified for.

In case you were unaware, Walmart instructs their low wage employees how to apply for Medicaid and Food Stamps.
No Walmart jobs = no extra Middle Class Tax Payer money going to support low wage Walmart employees.
Smaller stores with less leeching government power will fill the gap.
No Walmart jobs = no extra Middle Class Tax Payer money going to support low wage Walmart employees.
Exactly! Who gets more taxpayer money, low wage workers or no wage workers?
Oh, wait, no Walmart jobs = more welfare payments.
More Welfare Payments should wake people up to how messed up our Economic Policy is.
But then again, I'm fully aware that you're one of those Conservatives who looks at poor people as belonging to another species.
More Welfare Payments should wake people up to how messed up our Economic Policy is.
Fewer jobs = more welfare payments. I agree, your policy recommendation is messed up.
Lol,
If they pay much lower = more welfare in order to survive. I'd rather the workers got a bigger portion of the pie that they make.
If Walmarts have such RAZOR THIN profits, why does it make BILLIONS every year?Walmart has decided not to build some of the stores that it had said it would inWashington DC.
