Trending, crunchy news, hopefully going nationwide.   :rotf:

I love the part about educating the low information shoppers on the evils of Walmart.  That worked out well. 

Nadin must have run that story through her translation machine.  Or maybe her anonymous Walmart employee helped her.   :lmao:

The small rag, which is free and delivered by winos, had to have a team of linguistic experts to translate, correct and  rewrite gNads article.

It doesn't resemble anything that she has ever posted at the DUmp.

DUmmie math, indeed. We have increased your profit by an additional negative 15 billon.
Article full of speculation, second hand accounts and edited "quotes" from un-named sources.
A very distorted and biased report, to say the least.
Suffice it to say, typical gNads style.  It was an opinion piece, not an honest report.
I wonder how long it took the editor to correct all the grammar/spelling errors before it was posted?

But the study also estimates the increased purchasing power of lower-wage workers as a result of the pay raises would generate $4 billion to $5 billion in additional retail sales.

Maybe my mind hasn't completely woke up yet this morning. Can someone explain the above to me. It looks to me like they admit that it would cost employers $20.8 billion, but they claim it is a good thing because it would generate up to $5 billion in new revenue.  Doesn't this mean that the net result is that employers are OUT about $15 billion?

If this is how they view things no wonder they've got the country in such bad shape.

Okay. So I'm not crazy. They do think that losing $15 billion is a good thing.

Be afraid. These are the idiots that are running the nation's economy. I heard some Obama lapdog yesterday saying that more stimulus was more important than the national debt and that the national debt really didn't mean anything. I guess the idiot doesn't understand interest payments and what happens when the interest payments overcome our income level.

Re Walmart: 'Higher Retail Wages Would Lift Americans Out Of Poverty, Boost Economy' - RawStory
Last edited Fri Nov 23, 2012, 08:12 PM USA/ET - Edit history (2)

I know this SEEMS obvious, but... if you are serious about cutting the deficit... 

And... this study does not target Wal-Mart, but the implication is there. Then why even bother puting the name in the title. Project much?

Study: Higher retail wages would lift Americans out of poverty, boost economy
By Kay Steiger - RawStory
Wednesday, November 21, 2012 10:51 EST

<snip> (his/hers/its)

A new study released by the progressive think tank Demos on Monday estimated that if retail workers were given a living wage, hundreds of thousands of Americans would be lifted out of poverty and the wage boost would significantly bolster the economy.
>snippage<
Righto.  No slant coming from that.

Sounds like a great deal. Tell you what cavers wanna prosper? Everyone send me $20 and I will send you $4 to $5 dollars in return.

You know, sir, I'm not so sure the oblate spheroid went to a Wal-Mart at all, to cover a story.

If you read the article very carefully, it seems a recapitulation of other news stories.

And her photographs--well, maybe they were snapped while the oblate spheroid and her witless husband were standing in line at Wal-Mart waiting to buy a bunch of stuff.

Remember, she's a DUmmie.

You've almost got it right.

Everyone send you 5 dollars then you cross your name off of the top of the list. Everyone else on the list moves up one slot. Newbs put their name at the bottom and wait to move up into the top slot for the big payoff.

Lurking DUmbasses here is a little lesson on that concept called reality that is so foreign to you.

Whether it be taxes or increased wages the business is not going to just take the hit and go on.
It will raise prices on the products accordingly so your increased buying power amounts to nothing.

Just remember the old adage.

Yes, we pay for that, as taxpayers. This is a form of “corporate welfare,” the California Progress Report explains.

I thought getting goodies from the state was a good thing. Now they have the nerve to complain about it.  :mental:

The study estimated that if Walmart were to raise its employees’ average pay to $25,000 for a full-time, year-round employee would lift 734,075 people currently in poverty above the federal poverty line – including retail workers and the families they support.

Seriously does anyone believe that $25k, $12/hr would satisfy them?

Oh now, Carl, sir, you know that the primitives don't believe that iron-clad no-exceptions natural law exists.

Even though they'll see it in action during the off-year elections of 2013, and with a vengeance during the mid-term elections of 2014, they still won't believe it.

I hate to say this, but there is no job in Walmart, that would deserve a $25,000.00(except mgt) yearly pay wage. One doesn't need a college education to stock shelves. Yes we offer health insurance, the premiums are high, imo, however....
If they did raise the living minimum wage, are people who have been there a long time, and have busted their asses, are their wages going to reflect that raise?? probably not.... ::)

For most people, it is a stepping stone to something else, or supplemental income, as (Mrs Smith?) said...

What you don't realize is that Wal-Mart has an unlimited pile of money that they can and should give away.  They keep it in the room next to the Skittles-shitting unicorn.  They shouldn't even "sell" things, man.  Corporate greed and 99%, yadda yadda./moonbat
