The Cinepro Family Loves Walmart

Post by _cinepro »

If any of you have ever wondered who the heck I'm married to, my wife was asked to be in a Walmart commercial and it's on the air this week.

That's GREAT! She must be very photogenic. Can you at least describe the commercial so we will know what to look for?

It's the usual Walmart commercial with a guy walking around the store with a customer. It's for Memorial Day, so it will only be on for the next few days.

We have Tesco and Auchan.

I hate both. I hate all of them, even Walmart I don't know.

Unfortunately, as a member of the lowest 95% of population, who own the 5% of goods, I should shop there.
Or 98% and 2%? The world is moving to that direction.

That makes no sense. How could 95% of the population only own 5% of the goods?

Are you talking about the "price" of the goods, so a rich guy who owns a $200K car has just as many "goods" as the combination of ten other guys who own $20K cars? Because they still each only have one car, and a car is an individual item.

Yes.

Yes.


by the way every car have a license plate.

The rich guy who pays 5 times more for a license plate - of special number - than for his whole car, that rich guy, has little more goods?
Again, yes.

How can we measure and compare the goods owned? By price. By the money equivalent. The money paid for them.

Walmart is one of the worst things that has happened to this country the past thirty years. They rob the people, they actively steal from their own workers by refusing to pay for their labor (how "American" is that?), they engage in dishonest marketing practices, they do not believe in fair competition, they have no regard for the environment, they steal from the taxpayers at the tune of billions in subsidies, they steal from the same local governments who give them outrages sums of money, and mistreat their workers domestic and abroad, and they engage in false advertisement (i.e. why hire a beautiful models to do their commercials instead of just going straight to a random Walmart and letting the viewers see what kind of people really work and shop there?)

Anyone thinking Walmart gives a damn about anything other than making more money at any cost, really needs to watch the documentary Walmart: The high cost of low prices. It is free online.

Incidentally, it is hard to imagine how self-professed anti-Socialist conservatives could support a company which organizes meetings to encourage its own employees to get on the government dole just so they don't have to complain so much about how little they are paid for their labor.

Yeah, Walmart is a swell company.
