Second: Except as I just pointed out, the Walton's (who own 50.1% of WalMart stocks) are the richest family on earth. If you tell me the richest family on earth worth hundreds of billions can't afford to pay their workers a little more you are lying.


Thank you for another variation of your usual diatribe (poor people, immigrants, etc. suck and they don't take advantage of their opportunities), but it really had nothing to do with the actual subject of whether employers care about their employees.

In fact, if you are representative of employers with your level of caring, based on the above, yeah, they definitely don't care lol

First Para…Caring for your employees does not mean you overpay for what they do. It means you treat them fairly and respectfully and do not abuse them. But you do not overpay for what they do…that just doesn't happen.

Second Para……So what. The Walton family is rich. Good for them. Show me a time in history when there were not obscenely rich people. Do you go to the Movies??? Do you realize how much some of those actors get?? Sports??? $30 million annual salaries are not unusual (Ho much do the peanut vendors get???)


Third Para…Never said they suck. Did say (over and over) that many do not take advantage of their opportunities…and living in the US is the greatest opportunity of all. And for the record on immigrants……they are coming here because their country let them down, not the US.

Want to know why I am cynical??? Pay attention to this part.

We could raise the minimum wage to $15 and have $12 Big Macs and people will either buy them or they won't. People will lose jobs and McDonald will automate. But the real kicker is once the dust settles and we are all used to the $12 Big Mac and $15 minimum wage…something else comes up. They now need $20 minimum wage or something else.

Black Lives Matter and all the other movements…let's retrain the police, give away housing, improve schools, free college, free healthcare, do away with bail, legalize drugs, have more job considerations and don't forget reparations. Let's do all that…and when things get no better for many……then what???

Things quiet down…come up with a new concept. It's no longer racism; it's now systemic racism. So even when racism isn't there, systemic racism (that most don't even see) is still there. Don't forget we now have microaggression, intersectionality, and whatever the multiple genders are that so many seem to have. Everyone is oppressed. It's horrible here…but no one leaves and thousands try to get here.

You want to know how a lot of our society thinks (and you can take this to the bank)……you give and give and give for all these groups and nothing improves. So people sit back and have a "now what" attitude. "What next." It never ends.

First Bolded: This is called the bare minimum. You don't get points for doing the bare minimum.

Second Bolded: So... you said they couldn't afford to pay their workers more. That is wrong. They absolutely can. As you say, they are rich. They choose not to.

Third Bolded: Instead of raising the price of goods after you give workers a raise how about... just not making as much money? I know, that is the only thing off the table. But imagine if the Walton's paid their employees more and instead of passing that cost onto the consumer, they just decided to be OK with being the second richest family on earth instead of the first.

First and second Paras……here's what you don't get (and never will) you pay people for that the job is worth and supply and demand of labor dictates. It's just that simple. And you do it too. When you shop, don't you look for the best price on an item? Who doesn't.

Third Para……money moves (I've said this before) Whatever the Waltons make, the money is reinvested (or donated). It doesn't just sit in their bank. It moves. It's how our capitalist society operates and it is very successful. Try to be part of that success instead of just whining about the rich.

This is my last post o this topic. We are never going to see the other's point of view. I hope you settle whatever is bothering you.

I doubt it. You'll be doing your usual poor people suck, workers suck, the rich make everything go diatribe within the week.

Well, last post with you regarding this. I know when I am hitting my head against a brick wall.

By the way, how do you get so much time to post on there boards. Isn't some mean old wealthy employer grinding you into the dirt all day long. Seems like you have plenty of time.

Yup. And it’s falling.

To be fair, the sky is actually yellow or red around where I live currently though.
