Store closures
« on: January 15, 2016, 04:13:31 PM »
Earlier in the week saw that more K-Marts are being closed and can not believe the one here again is not one of them.  But this afternoon the big story is 269 WalMarts are being closed, with 16,000 people.  102 of them are small stores but the rest are superstores and about three Sams Clubs.

We've two near us, about equal distance away.  The one I prefer to patronize is a smaller SuperCenter than was initially planned for because Chapel Hill totalitarians didn't want it spilling over into their county.

Don't think any are closing by me, but the announcement of all these closings and the markets casinos response is telling...the veil is dropping on the phony baloney economic miasma.  It happens like this when the kabuki masters cook "official" numbers this bad for so long...worse yet everybody knows it, once the cash flow dries up there is no hiding it.  The first tell was all the degrading earnings announcements last year and the 4th quarter revisions have been horrific.  This could be one stinky year and it is going to be topic of much abuse and disinformation by hardcore Progs in this POTUS election year.

I guess the left won't have to worry about those particular minimum wage jobs any more.

Well, now there's a legitimate reason to raise the wage...this way the shiftless cretins can report a higher salary from the just @ which they just got canned.  ;D

As I recall, it isn't the Walmart employees that are complaining about the wages, it's been the concern-trolls doing so "on their behalf".

And ....

I wonder if the constant supply of inferior products produced by the Red Statist Chinese have anything to do with lower retail sales. I can tell you flat out that it has affected our frequent trips to almost none because of the aforementioned junk sold in the stores. Next up, the stores reduced their inventory which forced us into shopping elsewhere for the very things they previously carried.

f**k'em!  ::effu::

Lets kick the ProgTard into high gear...

Who can live on $10/hr especially working PT?

Jack up the rate to $200/hr, that will fix everything and everybody will be happy.

See here, you should have made it more lifelike and said $22.10/hr.
