Let’s not forget the marvelous job we have all done in making the local water company rich. Where we live, the water company had a big push going – with all sorts of publicity and public service advertisements – convincing people how important it was to conserve water! So – guess what!? Everyone pitched in and doubled their efforts to conserve water. And they were successful! Reports came out about how much water people had been saving! So – then – the local water department leaped into the headlines once again – explaining how it was that, because so many people had been so successful in conserving water – that the water company was not making as much money as they thought they should be making – because people had reduced their use of water – so the poor li’l ole water company just HAD to raise their rates!
With some of those guys, Shoe, you can’t win – for losin’!
Interesting rant. So how is Wally World different from Target, Sears, Marshall’s, McDonald’s, or almost any other major company? They ALL play the same game!!!
The sad part here is that Walmart is subsidized by the government by not offering benefits. This just assures that we make walmart rich even when we make a point NOT to shop there.

Ain’t it the truth? Double and triple taxation on retirement income is killing many a senior citizen.

Some of the world’s poorest people have made Walmart the world’s richest company.
