Please never EVER shop at WAL-MART again...
 

I sure wont after reading this:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickunga...lthcare-costs/

i just did :( the prices are just too cheap

fuck walmart corp. theyre one of the biggest corp freeloaders out there. 60-75% of all their slaves are on some type of govt assistance. walmart basically depends on taxpayers to provide food, housing and healthcare for their slaves.

typical amerikan corporation, fucking the fascist parasites

I have NEVER spent a penny at a Wal-mart or Sam's. But to comment on your post what's as disturbing is future employees will be limited to just 30 hours of work per week. This will necessitate having to get another job to make ends meet.

So now you will have a large group of service workers working 2 jobs and having their insurance paid for by tax payers.

.

They actually reversed on this and will now be making 35000 part time employees, full time employees.

It was all a bluff, it seems.

Read it somewhere today, too lazy to go looking for a link.

yea I hear ya - I've done it too and enjoyed those prices...


never again - when billionaires are fighting so hard to keep their employees below the poverty level so they don't have to contribute to their good health..well thats beyond the pale for me

Their low pay is why the min. wage should be increased. I know, troll alert but I'm not trying to do that. They're simply the largest employer in the country and therefore if they sneeze the rest of us have to say god bless you (or some other more fitting metaphor.)

I would not walk into a fucking Wal-mart if I was homeless...staring and they were giving away food! I would sooner eat my own shit than step foot in one of their "stores"!

They represent everything that is wrong with this country - greed, fucking over small business, accepting shit quantity instead of quality - in general lowering standards to make a buck!

Fuck Wal-mart!

they have good loophole lawyers.

Second that, can't beat the deals they have. I feel for the employees, but I'm not made of money. I got to save where I can.

is there any real big value at walmart anymore? heck, i price compare them online with amazon et al and don't see any. the local grocer is as price competitive as heck on things, shop carefully and come close to walmart. and my uber local mom& pop tries real hard these days to come close to the local chain prices with a nice selection and convenience and first name convo, etc. i ask for something and he will get it even.

maybe walmart makes sense for a family of 6+ with 2 100 pound dogs eh, but yeah for me, i don't have any reason to shop there.

interesting article, here is another one about Papa Johns:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickunga...e-politicking/

Walmart is the bigger employer, and nobody is forced to work there. People buy there because it's cheap, and it's cheap because they employ people who have no school degrees at the minimum wage.

We have to know what we want. If we don't agree with what they does, fine, turn back and buy from small shop who is made in america, for 3 time the price.

Personally I'm in admiration, they deserve to be rich, they help tons of people who are not forced to work their, they are the biggest employer in the US.

I buy my pickles there

Just Joining a LONG list of companies....

Many reducing hours from Full Time to part time.

Heck it is the Affordable Care Act. They can Now qualify for Tax Rebates on the health insurance.

Tax Payers? NO, They are Required to BUY insurance with the ACA.

Gosh People get it right.....

It is Cheap and Affordable, RIGHT?

What about the Millions of people at Min Wage Jobs???? Not Full Time? You add these plus the Walmart ones thats a ton...

Well I can't find the list, BUT I remember

Papa Johns
Jimmy Johns
Hobby Lobby
Wendys

I think some Applebee's
So on so on..

They are required to buy insurance that will be SUBSIDIZED because of their income level.

And who do you think pays for the "government tax credit subsidy" they will qualify for?

Taxpayers.

.

no es mi culpa mi familia muy pobre :upsidedow

Why is it you don't complain about the massive subsidies to big oil, large corporate farms, defense contractors, GE.. The list could go on and on about all the companies and industries that get large amounts of govt subsidies and most of these corps have no direct benefit to the Average American..

Yet oh holy hell, if the govt uses tax money for the benefit of the average person, then it's the end of the world..

Cool
And who do you think paid the million / billions to even get this ACA going???

Awesome, Walmart joins an Ever growing list of Companies doing this....

At least you can't blame Canada

Unbelievable! :2 cents:

Don't believe everything you read even when it comes from a source like Forbes.

You posted a link about how Wal Mart is "bailing on Obamacare" (and shafting it's employees as if this is anything new), yet the same site has a more recent article that says the direct opposite: Wal Mart is moving over to full time employees so they can have healthcare under Obamacare.

Go figure.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickunga...ler-after-all/

You lost me, ??? Walmart pushed this Obama insurance program?

The Affordable Care Act is affordable because of taxpayer money covering subsidies given to lower income individuals.

Basic math.

I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I'm just pointing out how it's funded.

.

I had a feeling this topic would be another chance for ACA haters to vent.

It's law people...move on

Odd. My first few jobs did not offer health care and wow. Im still alive. I moved on and UP and got health care.

Now with walmart giving the obama care or people being forced into it whats the incentive to move up? Not pay because they are headed to 10 or 15 an hour.

Not long before the dollar is even more worthless than it already is.

Does anyone have a link or two showing the companies the Obama Admin gave a 1 year ACA postponement to?

We try not to buy anything from gas to food to clothes at any conglomerate. It is possible, it is affordable. Just takes a little effort on a decent SE.

For people like me with pre existing conditions this is great.

But let's not forget why is "Affordable". It's not "affordable" because the health care industry cut their prices. It's not "affordable" because the insurance industry streamlined their business and cut profits.

It's "affordable" because some taxpayer somewhere is paying more taxes so a whole lot of people can afford insurance thanks to "government tax credit subsidy".

I love Costco. Fuck Wal-Mart tho

I seldom shop at Wal-Mart (or Costco).







I send my wife. :1orglaugh

(She loves shopping)

Well actually, if the money is coming from anywhere, it's coming from your kids or grandkids futures considering USA debt and deficit levels.

Oh My God, these poor Walmart employees that have a gun held to their head every morning making them go into work. I feel for them! It's almost as bad as the black kids on TV's with flies on their eyeballs.

Here's a big FUCK you Walmart!

Let's keep it focused on this topic not the waste everywhere else.

My point is while some will be getting cheap health care or lower cost health care it's only because other individuals are paying more which is in effect a tax hike for them.

Damn, just looking at the front page of GFY.

Nothing but politics and "news".

Looks like there are maybe 3 threads that have anything to do with business at all.

How many of us are left that are still IN the porn industry and make a good living at it?

10 an hour in California means you can barely support yourself in a rented room. Barely. 15 means you can be a single patent maybe. But not a family provider. Not going to happen. Especially when they don't give overtime and think 32 hours is a full work week. 480 a week minus taxes, 390 and rents start at 1200 a month for a shit hole. You need food stamps after gas, car insurance and rent. You haven't even started thinking about a.. haha... ohh man... a vacation from your crap life.

Hmm, apparently you have not seen updated, recentnews on this. The article you posted is from Dec 2012. This one is from yesterday. http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesau...ot-at-walmart/

There's also a thread about my dog dying.

tbh, i've been avoiding that one because i don't think i can read it at this point in time, it's hard even reply here, but i am sorry for your loss.

Thanks man. Can't get it out of my mind.

As far as Obama care goes, I personally will benefit from it. So yes, I selfishly approve.

thanks


this pretty much firmly entrenches socialized medicine in the US....forever.

Damn I guess we are going to have to join the rest of the civilized world..albeit kicking and screaming.

All you guys that were hoping the unwashed masses would continue to go uninsured...I'm sorry for your loss.

They're the Death Star of stores -- as I've heard someone refer to them before.

hahahahaha thats rad

just because they worth billions doesn't mean they need to give it away to others... they opened business and got rich, they don't own shit to anyone... it's funny everyone wants something for nothing, you want more money? go open business yourself and do something...
