There's not a single red-blooded American who hasn't contributed
mightily to Haiti already, especially we conservatives. Every time we
purchase something at Walmart we're supporting the poor in China,
Haiti, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and elsewhere.

So, I don't know why we'd support Haiti in a separate fund raising
drive if we can do the same by supporting our local Walmarts. That's
double taxation!

Boycott Haiti relief! Shop Walmart!

I wasn't going to bring this up, but since you did, I will.

WALMART


1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.


2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!


3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St.
Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.


4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot +Target + Sears + Costco +
K-Mart combined.


5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private
employer, and most speak English.


6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World..


7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger & Safeway combined, and
keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.


8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.


9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.


10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA, of which 1,906 are
Super-Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago.


11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur
at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
Billion.)


12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.


You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground
work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run
Wal-Mart to fix the economy, because the fools in Washington sure
can't do it!

WALMART


1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart every hour of every day.

Awsome.

2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!

Sustainable.

3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St.
Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.

Leader of the pack.

4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot +Target + Sears + Costco +
K-Mart combined.

Competative.

5. Wal-Mart employs 1.6 million people and is the largest private
employer, and most speak English.

Provides lots of direct jobs. Even more jobs to provide the goods they
distribute.

6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the World..

Should be, they do a good job. GM thinks they should, but 50 years of
screw ups...well... GM be losers.

7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger& Safeway combined, and
keep in mind they did this in only 15 years.

Efficient. Less lard.

8. During this same period, 31 supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

Guess they didn't get rid of the apathy and lard.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

Yep, and competative enough to survive in China, the real open market of
this century.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA, of which 1,906 are
Super-Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 Years ago.

Controlled growth, I like that.

11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur
at a Wal-Mart store. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5
Billion.)

Worldly. Little if any inbreeding.

12. 90% of all Americans live within 15 miles of a Wal-Mart.

Good logistics and planing, serving customers and not egos and politics.

You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground
work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run
Wal-Mart to fix the economy, because the fools in Washington sure
can't do it!

Agreed. Even to run government and watch taxes drove and service skyrocket.

Hell, if we are going to pay taxes to corporations like banks and GM,
bet Walmart would provide us much better bank for the buck. Maybe even
get sub $5,000 eco cars.

I would vote for it.

Maybe write your Walmart managers and suggest tthey run for senate and
congress this fall. We certainly need real tallent in DC and Ottawa.

Well, it's for damn sure that my post and your response sure ****ed

Here's something else that'll **** 'em off.

Associated Press
BofA, Walmart Foundation pledge Haiti relief
By The Associated Press, 01.13.10, 07:11 PM EST

Bank of America Corp. will give $1 million and the Walmart Foundation
$600,000 to help victims of the earthquake that hit Haiti Tuesday, the

Yeah, it's really socialistic for companies to volunteer their time or

One thing I used to really admire about the USA was the generosity of
the people to provide a hand up as opposed to a hand out. Much more
effective than government that tends to throw money at it hoping the
problem goes away.

Given that even before the quake most Haitians were unemployed, I don't
think labor shortage is an issue. Maybe skills, education, ability to
keep peace and other society nicities, but not labor.
