I already know Walmart gets rid of employees they need. So my question still stands, why would Walmart keep extra employees they don't need? Simple answer, they don't because they don't have extra employees they don't need. They have a roster that's stretched as thin as possible, and they continue stretching. That's the Walmart way, but they've previously had to be sneaky about it. Not any more with Trump's tax cuts. Now they'll raise wages and not only continue to make record profits, but they'll get to be vocal about their firing practices by pointing to wage increases as the excuse.
It's certainly possible. Pac-man and Malignaggi are tripping over each other trying to be the next guy in line. I'd probably go with Paulie because Conor knows he can actually beat him. But who knows, Conor may end up going back to MMA, though he may wait until someone figures out how to beat Khabib ;)
If you've ever worked for Walmart you'd know they already cut as many corners as possible to keep their prices low. If jobs go away because of the minimum wage increase, those jobs were going away anyway. Why would Walmart keep extra employees around that they don't need? It makes no sense. You're probably thinking that since Walmart is increasing wages, those workers are going to be worked harder, and the ones that can't handle it are going to leave, which isn't the case except in rare cases like elderly and special-needs workers.
Primarily third shift is worked the hardest, so those jobs will probably remain the most intact. Meanwhile, the people in day shift who don't work in the back, and are not cashiers, but just sit around waiting for someone to enter their department, will probably lose their jobs or be moved. The thing is, that's going to happen eventually anyway. Now it'll just happen sooner.
The minimum wage increase is just a means for Walmart to continue doing what they've already been doing, but now they can be vocal about it instead of hiding it. Before, Walmart would skirt the issue when you questioned their treatment of employees. Now, they'll say "$11 an hour" and be done with it, while watching their profit margins continue to grow.
There's a fundamental flaw in your argument. Framing it that way is saying that the left wants illegal immigrants to remain illegal immigrants, which is stupid because every right-winger knows the left wants those illegals to become legal. If and when those illegals become legal, then you don't need anyone taking care of them because those legal immigrants would be allowed to work and afford their own housing. That is what the left wants. Since you unintelligently framed it as "the left is in favor of illegal immigration," your mind is stuck in that gear not fully understanding what it is you are arguing for or against.
Yeah, I always considered the TUF board a nice summarized version of Sherdog, where you didn't have to go through as much crap to get the good stuff. Pretty much any big MMA-related story was posted on the TUF board and had a few replies by the time I got there.
True, but Floyd didn't make nowhere near $25 mil. He probably got upwards of around $200 million.
