The Destructive Effects of Government

[Unkotare]

There is another, newer Walmart 2 1/2 miles and about 5 minutes from the one that is closing. Can that many stores within that close an area be profitable? I doubt it.

Ask Dunkin Donuts.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Most of the Walmart store closings are occurring in states where the minimum wage is at the federal minimum wage, or lower.

Tell the whole story for once, liar.

I never lie.

Does that make you jealous?

I proved you lie a couple days ago when you called me a liar for saying you believe abortion is murder. Now you're lying about lying.

I never lie...but let's rub your face in it: quote any lie in the OP.

Once you admit to lying about your position on abortion I'd be glad to.

if you thought a fetus is alive then yes abortion would be murder.

I think my appendix is alive but I don't ever expect to be charged with murder if I have it out.

 

[NYcarbineer]

One is in Oakland. One is in San Jose.

San Jose is the richest city in the US.

 

[Dot Com]

You'd have thought by now that PC would have told us why more of the Walmarts that closed were in states with only the federal minimum wage,

Maybe their incomes are too low even for Walmart? That happens, when you race to the bottom can't even produce your own fucking socks and underwear.

People have forgotten that Walmart promised to set its own internal minimum wage, starting next month I think,

at $9.00 an hour.

I think it was $10 but they either don't want to pay a living wage or online-shopping has blown a hole in their corporate strategy

 

[Dot Com]

Liberal big government operates under the motto "We Know Best What's Good For You!"

What is amazing is how many drones bow to this.

Equally amazing that the flashing light "IDIOT" over their heads doesn't keep them awake at night.

Rather than rehash the damage that Franklin Roosevelt did to the economy by instigating the mortgage meltdown by occupying the private home mortgage industry with his shock troops....'Fannie Mae,'....here's one more casualty...actually 400 casualties....of big government meddling.


1. "Wal-Mart announced Jan. 15 it will close 269 stores globally, including 154 locations in the United States—affecting about 10,000 associates across the nation.
“The minimum wage in the city of Oakland played a factor, was one of the factors, they considered in closing the stores,” Oakland City Councilman Larry Reidtoldthe San Francisco Chronicle.

... this store has been very successful for Wal-mart.”

2. The Oakland location, which ranked among the city’s top sales-tax producers, closed its doors Sunday evening following the corporate announcement. The store’s 400 employees will stay on moving inventory through mid-February,reported the San Francisco Chronicle.



3. Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, a Democrat, has been leading statewide efforts to raise the minimum wage to $15.

“This higher city minimum wage eliminated the jobs of the very workers advocates wanted to help,” said James Sherk, a research fellow in labor economics at The Heritage Foundation.



4. California’s minimum wage rose to$10 an hour on Jan. 1. Oakland’s minimum wage was bumped from $9 to $12.25 in March 2015 and was raised to $12.55 at the start of this year.

5. “The true minimum wage is $0.00 an hour,” Sherk said.“Companies do not have to hire workers, and they will not pay them more than the value they create.”



6. If the Oakland Wal-Mart workers don’t find employment by Feb. 10, they will get 60 days of additional pay and a severance package with a week of pay for every year employed by Wal-Mart, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.



7. The San Francisco Chronicle says two Wal-Mart locations in Oakland’s neighboring city ofSan Leandro, where minimum wage is $10, will remain open.

8. The difference between these three locations is the Oakland Wal-Mart has over a 25 percent difference in labor costs for entry-level employees than the San Leandro locations, says Mark Perry, an American Enterprise Institute scholar and professor of economics and finance at the University of Michigan’s Flint campus.

9. “Given the reality that Wal-Mart operates on razor-thin profit margins (only 2.8 percent last quarter), a 25 percent difference in labor costs for entry-level workers can be the difference between a store that turns a profit and a store that barely breaks even, or loses money,” Perrywrote.
Oakland’s Minimum Wage Is Up, Wal-Mart Is Out


One more success story for theDemocrts/Liberals/Progressives who know best.

This is directly (see link) from Walmart's CEO Doug McMillon's Q and A on the closings:

Question: Are you having to close stores and clubs because of Walmart’s investment in wages?

McMillon's Answer:

Not at all.

That's what truth looks like, PC. Make a note of it.

OUCH!!!

The line was so long at Starbucks that I had to go wait at the Starbucks across the street.

Once you admit to lying about your position on abortion I'd be glad to.

if you thought a fetus is alive then yes abortion would be murder.

I think my appendix is alive but I don't ever expect to be charged with murder if I have it out.

"I think my appendix is alive but I don't ever expect to be charged with murder if I have it out."

Does it have different DNA, and fingerprints than you do?

Could you die and it remain alive?

Does it emit chemical substances which weaken your immune system so that this tiny "foreign" body is not rejected by your body?

If, heaven forbid, you were murdered, would the murderer be charged for two murders?


Sir Albert Liley (the "Father of Fetology") made this observation in a 1970 speech entitled, "The Termination of Pregnancy or the Extermination of the Fetus?"
Physiologically, we must accept that the conceptus is, in a very large measure, in charge of the pregnancy.... Biologically, at no stage can we subscribe to the view that the fetus is a mere appendage of the mother.
Sir William Albert Liley,“The Termination of Pregnancy or the Extermination of the Fetus?” cited by Randy Alcorn, Pro-Life Answers to Pro-Choice Arguments, 58.

Would that statement apply to said appendix?


Are you truly this much of an imbecile that you don't recognize the difference between an unborn human being, and your appendix?

Clearly, I've schooled you to the extent that you recognize what a truly stupid post you authored.....claiming that an appendix is the equivalent to an unborn human being.

Now for more of the education you so sorely need:
No women, or man has the right to kill a unique, separate, human being.

The true horror is that there are people who feel that it is acceptable based on a change of mind about having the child.
And especially when the prevention was fully in the parents' hands.


So very simply to prove how misguided you are, by asking this: what argument for killing the unborn human would not equally apply to a mother who is breast feeding here six month old?

[candycorn]

rdean said he was going to make you tone it down. How is that going for you.

The effects are even worse in rural areas where Walmart's presence drove out small groceries, that will now have no grocery stores after the exodus of Walmart. Lost jobs and higher food costs factoring in travel.

The damage done by Walmart putting all the small stores out of business is already done, but the closed stores are all within 10 miles of another Walmart that is staying open.

So far...

An appendectomy is equal to an abortion where abortion is legal.
