Walmart still sucks..

Well…one of the things that has been galling about watching the Olympics this time is the commercial that Walmart has been running about how wonderful they are for planning…remember, only planning to spend 250 billion dollars to ‘revive” American manufacturing….and every time I see it, I gag at the audacity of the ad…the audacity of a company who has spent the past 40 years destroying American manufacturing by their relentless push to cut costs by selling billions and billions of dollars of cheap Chinese crap…all the while paying their employees so little that most of them qualify for food stamps and other aid that has we taxpayers giving Walmart almost a million dollars a store in subsidies. It reminds me of the old, old joke that has a murderer killing his parents and then throwing himself on the mercy of the court by saying he has an excuse, he is an orphan….that is just what this whole campaign smells like…hollow out the economy with your strategic plans, then make a big deal that you might go back and fix some of the damage that you caused…what a sorry excuse for a company, and a sorry excuse for Americans these Waltons are…geez…
