There are piss-poor areas in the US where people will cut each others throat for those minimum-wage jobs and even offer to accept less than minimum wage.
So what flies in Europe may not necessarily fly here. Walmart has us where they want us and we accept that.

Walmart may have us with the collusion of the government but it doesn’t have to be that way. Germany is a prime example. the people need to get together and stand up for what is right and equitable. Unions used to play a big part in this but have been systematically attacked by big business and deserted by politicians.
Fuck Walmart![/quote]
please point me to what law/statute/amendment that says every job offered by any company must pay more than minimum wage. isnt that what minimum wage is- the ‘minimum wage’ a worker must be paid?
who in their fucking right mind tries to make a god damn living on minimum wage? if you do a job that a trained monkey or middle schooler could do, you have little negotiation power when it comes to wages.
sorry, but that is how life works. you have no redeeming quality or desirable skill, you take what you can get. want better? get better.[/quote]
I have my share of hard-earned college degrees and I’m doing pretty well. Even people with a HS diploma have entered skilled trades are doing very well.
The people with limited intelligence and or skills are sucking wind. The more industrious are
working another part time or full time job.
Walmarts have a habit of popping up everywhere from Bumfuck Egypt to major cities. In the smaller towns, they are often the major employer. I don’t quite see the preoccupation with bashing the hell out of them. I buy my gym clothes, pool supplies, health care items and every so often something like an HD TV from them.
Free enterprise works and they have better buying power out of sheer volume. They put the squeeze on their suppliers for rock bottom long-term deals that sometimes hurt the suppliers after a while.
