So much BS in this documentary

Don't agree with everything that you're saying but I had trouble with the documentary also in that the things they are accusing Walmart of doing are the same damn things that a huge variety of businesses including Kmart, Burger King, McDonalds, every fast food restaurant, every diner, every major grocery fanchise and many department stores who hire people at minimum wage do and have been doing for decades. I have yet to see any of those businesses hire people and give them more than 39 hours a week so as to not have to provide health insurance or, of all things, provide minimum wage employees vacation or sick time (paid or unpaid)! I'm not against these businesses being forced to do so through the creation of unions or whatever but why is Walmart the only one under attack?

As far as the Mom & Pop stores, the problem with them is not Walmart. It is what it has always been since before the creation of Walmart (which I had never heard of growing up in the Midwest until the 90's) and that is that when you go into them, they charge two and/or three times as much for an item as you would pay at Walmart or any major grocery chain. They put themselves out of business. The only ones that I see survive are the ones that are located in rural or suburban areas a significant distance from major groceries and people are forced to pay the high price if they can't or don't want to make a trip to a cheaper place.

Do ya love him Loretta?
Ah Ma I love im awful.
Oh God, you poor thing.

1. Your experience doesn't tell the tale for the thousands of other workers.

2. Prices are higher at these stores because they don't exploit workers to the same degree as Walmart. And who cares if the stores aren't as spiffy as the major outlets...

3. Although you are too harsh, I don't completely disagree. People need to be more careful when they have children. If you aren't on a reasonable wage, then maybe wait to have children. Although, things happen. Husbands lose jobs. Marriages break up. You are being too judgmental without knowing all the facts.

I've never seen a local store charge 2 to 3 times as much. They obviously have to charge more because they don't have the buying and negotiating power Wal mart have, and their margins have to be a bit higher because they pay their employees more. Also, a lot of single mothers were in relationships that fell apart, and never went to college because their husband supported the family.

What an idiot you are, your short shortsightedness and inability to see the truth almost makes me feel sorry for you. Its a shame you reproduced.

Well, that illustrates another aspect of Capitalism. It's the ideology of the vicious and self-righteous.



You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
