didnt Walmart brag that they could give everyone a raise to $15hr. I didnt say it, they did so obviously they can afford it so why are you so concerned about walmart losing profit? Is it your favorite store?

I'm pointing out the numbers. it's simple math, but you still don't get it. I'm sure u never will. it's hopeless to debate with people who don't function in reality. you people believe in fairy tails. it's a lost cause.
As a matter of fact I do. I know what it's like to be up all night worrying about cash flow, employees, future work, clients, payroll, expansion, possible layoffs, the economy, OSHA, EPA, IRS, state EPA, and all sorts of other govt entities that take my money to pay for their shitty employees to drive prius's. You can watch sex, read about sex, think about sex, and try and create sex, but until you actually HAVE sex, you don't know what it's like.

thanks for making my point. your comparing completely two different business models.
Costco employees are an upgrade from walmarts. you need prior experience to work there and make a good wage. Walmart will hire anyone no matter how inexperienced they are ect . the type of people Costco won't hire. look at the customer service you get at costco compared to Walmart. there's no comparison. Also look at the total bill at costco compared to Walmart. a bill at Walmart is nothing compared to Costco. At Costco people spend way more money than they do at Walmart. no comparison there either. there's no real comparison between the two companies. completely different business models.

what wage pre hour do you want Walmart paying its employees?
Perhaps you would be more successful if you didn't consider your employees to be shitty. It would be interesting to see how your supposed employees would react to knowing what you really think of them.
Shareholders are not the end-all, be-all of corporate existence. With Costco's business model, and according to your logic, investors should be dropping Costco stock like it's covered in shit. But they aren't.
How am I greedy?
One is a business model, the other is a scam being perpetuated on the American people.
when you buy a product or service you look for the cheapest price.

Oh really?
I would rather buy a quality product or service at a higher price than buy a cheap POS product or service that causes me to have to pay good money for higher quality after spending bad money on something that is a POS that breaks sooner and has to be replaced quicker.
yeah really. you're going to look for the best price on that higher quality product. if one store sells that product for $69 and the other for $99 which store are you going to buy it from? you greedy capitalist!

I'm gonna say this is half true, but usually with larger purchases were I will see a difference, like a TV or a car. But really to be honest I never lok at the cost of shit I purchase daily or shop at walmart because of the crowds there. I dont care if toilet paper is cheaper at a different store, I'm more concerned about getting in and out because I feel my time is more valuable than my money.
I look for the best value, not the cheapest price.
you mean one discriminates against the poor and the other helps them.
The scam is a ponzi scheme. It's unsustainable (a favorite word of "conservatives"). When everyone depends on the government for assistance where will that money come from?
right, the best value for your money. greedy capitalist!
I'm still waiting for you to answer what hourly rate you want Walmart to pay its employees.
for example: LAM says $14 an hour is a good place to start for a federal minimum wage. at least he has a pair of balls and gives a number. although that $14 per hour will bankrupt Walmart unless they raise their prices. so he advocated raising price for higher wages. why can't you guys just admit that too?

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension and read my post again.

How do you figure $14/hour will bankrupt Walmart?

No problem with reading comprehension, simple mistake on my part due to your run-on sentence.

still no matter what you say doesn't take away the fact that Walmart stated they could afford to give all their employees a raise to $15hr. don't see why anyone would be against that
if you take the average pay per store employee and give everyone $3.71 raise it will not be near $14 an hour.
Sustainability is only achieved by the integration of economic, cultural, and environmental strands, when one of these strands is weakened the entire economic "braid" is weakened. People can debate how much anyone should get paid or what anything is "worth" until they rare blue in the face but the facts are that the financial system as a whole meaning tax policy, subsidies, fiat currency, etc. has great distorted the natural process of wage and price discovery mechanisms permanently.
This is why the US is one of the worst performing economy's in the OECD out of all the wealthy industrialized country's, why the US has the most recessions, has the highest degree of inequality. There is simply nothing sustainable about the current economic model here and the 2008 economic downturn is only the precursor of negative economic events to come, each one being markedly worse than the last because that is the nature of recessions in the world we live in today.
There is one thing that's not debatable and that's low wages for the majority of workers does not make for a sustainable consumption based society, especially when labor has to complete with a massive self-serving financial sector that produces nothing of value, it gives nothing back to society. There are only so many resources to go around and the people and business that have direct access to US politicians have been winning that battle for decades.

Nice narrowing of the list.
Source. In ranking of GDP per capita, the USA ranks forth (out of thirty four) in purchasing power parity and seventh (out of thirty four) in current exchange rates.
That not withstanding how do you figure it will bankrupt Walmart when they, themselves, already stated they could easily do so and not hurt themselves?
it's a lot of money to sit in an air conditioned building and put mayonnaise on bread
and what does the cumulative effect of inflation have on wages again?
your daft you still haven't figured out the scam that the capitalist at the top play. they pay poverty wages, then lend their excess monies back to the middle in bottom in the form of credit where they receive interest payments and on top of that their firms receive massive tax subsidies.
if you think paying poverty wages is the only obligation that these larges firms have to help maintain our society then your utterly clueless on how to achieve economic sustainability.
it has a huge impact.
And Obama's new federal reserve chairwoman loves inflation and will keep the same destructive policies in place creating even more inflation, at the same time, destroying the poor and middle class. And you said you voted for Obama because of his economic policies? LOL you must hate the middle class and poor to support a policy like that. shame on you.
i look for the cheapest price period a $ is a $ to me and every dollar that i can save to further invest will trickle down and return my total invest more more. If i can save 20$ a year with toilet paper from costco by buying bulk then i can probably save a few hundred throughout the year, just in groceries. adding another 300$ a year to my investments over a 20 year term will be well worth it.
This topic is still going on... Here is a good solution. If you dont like your job then get a better one. If you can not find a better job then you probably suck as a human-being and deserve working at wall mart.
