Wal-Mart, Like Drug Dealers, Supports Terrorism

March 22, 2007 by

…according to a new ad campaign. Maybe libertarians should start saying, “Oppose the government! It sponsors terrorism!” It does, after all.

This is all Walmarts fault. If you give an inch the unions and progressives will attempt to take a mile.

If Walmart was worried about putting customers in stores like its founder they would not have these stupid problems. But they made a stupid choice and decided to work with the statist scum. Now they pay.

You wonder why union membership is declining.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t Wal-mart be hardest hit by a port nuclear attack? Since that would kill their supply chains and cause their stores to be looted?

Person March 22, 2007 at 12:55 pm

I mean, other than the dead people and all.

I’m just saying, if you’re claiming they’re skimping on port nuclear safety to … *increase* profits … you kinda have to wonder.

I agree with Person — you really have to lack the ability to start with the assumption that mega-successful Wal-Mart doesn’t care about the safety of ports. It is like saying they don’t care about the safety of their trucking (which I believe is said by truckers who don’t like Wal-Mart’s demanding schedules for loading and stocking stores).

Furthermore, Wal-Mart has a lot of incentive to productively prevent terrorism, too… so the whole ad is silly rhetoric. But Bill is right, too, in saying that Wal-Mart’s CEO has been flirting with the political scum… once you play in the dirt, you no longer have clean hands.

What is the difference between a union and a business? They both provide a good/service and they each act to achieve goals.

That union membership is falling could be to do with the changing nature of work rather than any inherent mistrust of unions; or that governments have changed the rules / state of play in favour of one group at the expense of another.

Compulsory unionism though is another matter and I don’t think it is right for people to be forced into membership. Alternatively businesses getting favours from governments is a pet peeve of mine as well.

no workable solution from me then :0)

cheers
