Walmart description checks out. Made me lol - out loud in my quiet office.
Agreed. The only reason labor is so cheap in other countries is due to lack of safety standards and the low standards of living for the workers.
Agreed. I hate that companies can legally bring in workers to take our jobs at a fraction of our pay.
Why didn't Amazon buy Kroger? They have much larger market penetration. Amazon is sitting nearly unlimited cash. Whole Foods is a place where upper-middle-class people can waste their money on goods that may, or may not, be worth the cost. I watched South Park and I have shopped at Wholefoods. They portrayed Wholefoods exactly as it is. Overpriced, agenda driven and snooty.
Exactly. Billions of dollars just tied up in that company. That's billions less for us in the (lower/upper) middle (poverty) classes to fight over.
She is the IRL version of that girl from Showtime's "House of Lies". Very pretty and quite rich. Her husband, Zachary Bogue, and her kids are quite fortunate.

The thing that really grinds my gears about the Best Buy + FBI partnership is that most of the "Geeks" on the Geek Squad are probably easily motivated by the $100(?) bonus the FBI would give them for finding illegal porn on the customer's computer. They may have been so motivated that they could just put some illegal porn on the customer's computer and called up some of Comey's minions for the reward. What's stopping them from doing that?
Don't people donate blood to blood banks? How is it that the blood bank is permitted to sell the donation? Why doesn't this start-up skip the middle-man and buy directly from youngsters?
They hire Indian immigrants on the H-1B Visa program and lay-off hard-working American Engineers. Who really cares is a lame Disney movie got stolen. Good riddance.
I could go for this as well.
I am hanging onto my Windows 7 machines until MS releases an OS with a Windows 7-like UI. If Windows 11 doesn't have a normal UI I may have to switch to Mac or Linix. I have hopes for 11 though, because they say to avoid all even-numbered Windows releases. So far the advice has been spot on.
Why would they do this? This is like hearing they developed a way to make more bloodthirsty mosquitoes. Let's focus science back on making better electric cars, space travel, faster computers, etc...
...VIC-20. Purchased at a garage sale for $20. Later I upgraded to the C-64... and even later an Amiga 500. These days, computers can do anything and the primary difference between my current Windows 7 Pro machine and the next PC i buy will be the horrible Windows 10 UI. But back in the 80's and 90's every new computer was different and NEW and EXCITING. I miss that feeling. Much like my first run through Ashron's Call.
