I won't attend. now matter what they want to give away to get people
in the door.
Neither will I. The whole idea is dumb but they still have people
lined up around the block for these things.
I'll be drinking coffee and reading the paper.
Funny, we have some Indian contract developers here that are excited about going. They are planning to buy laptops and tablets and are going to ship them back home. They say that electronics are much cheaper here than in India, and it's worth it to them.
I remember being in Tokyo about twenty years ago, and thinking I'd buy a new 35mm camera. Got the sticker shock of my life! Far less expensive to buy one in the states than over there, at least in the camera shops I checked.
I sold a couple of old 35MM cameras, lenses etc for a ridiculous price
to a guy in China (on Ebay) and I had 3 people there bidding.
I still think these things are available on the internet cheaper than
in a store, unless it is some kind of door buster where only the first
couple in line actually get one.
My wife just scored 2 WII/U consoles for less than list.
Our main parts supplier for the bike racing will match any valid
internet price on most parts and such... And overnight them to me too.
However, I may just go and spend a couple dollars at Walmart on Friday,
dogfood or anything to stick my middle finger up at the Union thugs who
want to "Hostess" Walmart...
Yeah, **** those workers who are helping Walmart sell billions of
dollars worth of Communist Chinese goods to your fellow citizen, so
the Waltons can be worth a collective $89 billion. That's equal to
the holdings of the bottom 41% of all American citizens.
You tell 'em, Freaky.
Don't you wish your dad had set you up better than being just an angry
man who covets "fine German screwdrivers."
LMAO!
"Set me up better" sounds like you come from a nanny state. Couldn't
make it on your own, Bertie?
The Waltons are worth 89 billion while their employees use state
supplied health care through emergency rooms. They earn wages that
aren't enough to live indoors and eat.
**** these American workers, you righties will side with Communist
Chinese before you admit to being ****ing idiots.
Some people succeed in life and others drop out of school and are lazy
until they realize that they need some money. At that point Walmart and
McD's may be their only options. They chose to be lazy slackers and now
pay the price. It's simple enough.
What about the corner store that was doing fine until Walmart came to
town? The proprietor and his employees all made enough to live on.
Not once Walmart took their customers with Chinese goods made by
desperate workers at slave wages.
It's happened thousands of times across America. Those busineess
owners weren't slackers or lazy. They were forced out of business by
sharp businessmen who kept all the profits for themselves while they
pay their employees **** wages and offer prices the local businessman
cannot compete with because their business model is subsidized by the
low wages and crappy benefits offered to desperate workers. Those
employees go to emergency rooms for health care after they reach stage
4 cancer because they cannot get rudementary care. Their kids eat
using food stamps.
Makes you feel better if you think of them as lazy do-nothings? You're
just another greedy **** who benefits by Walmart's low prices while
you screw your fellow American.
