Freeper---Wal-Mart opening is like giving a community a raise!

[Zuni]

:rofl:

You couldn't make this shit up!:

To: Monty Python
Many people complain about it killing local businesses, which it does, but it doesn't stop them from shopping there.
When Wal-Mart moves in, its like everybody getting a raise. The marginally efficient Mom and Pop stores may go out of business, but they are replaced by specialty stores that don't carry commodity-type goods that become viable because the local customers now have more discretionary income as opposed to money they spend on necessities.

1. They obviously don't know about walmart's tax racket...

It actually costs people MORE because walmart won't pay their workers enough to live properly on; even their medical program is a joke. So everybody turns to WELFARE. Kinda need to...

5. that's cool

i say more wal-marts in freeper communities. and no welfare for the freeper filth. let them live off dumpster diving in the walmart parking lot.

just keep walmarts away from my community.

2. Well, it consolidates all the retailers in small towns under one roof

The other businesses close and Walmart is left as the employer. I don't really think there is much to gain by this except some construction work as they build the big box out in the field.

4. No construction work...

WalMart has their own crews to build their huge outhouses of commerce, and the crews travel around building them all over the place, so they hire no local labor to build one, and probably don't use much locally provided materials. Of course, crews are non-union and probably a fair percentage of illegals.

Gawd, I HATE WalMart...

3. This guy cant be serious, can he?

I hate Wal-Mart. I'm glad it's been voted down in so many towns here in So Cal.

6. Other things like a big raise: war, inflation, and ignorance.

7. I love the point

where they say that WM employs people that otherwise couldn't get a job, therefore they are providing opportunities for them....bnwahahaha

[Gato Moteado]

8. well, if it wasn't for walmart, where would freepers work?

there are only so many french fry machine jobs at mickeyDee's. freepers gotta work somewhere or they'll just be burdoning the welfare system for their cigarrette and coor's lite money.

9. Clueless moran .

They're building a super walmart here in my little town. I would guess that after a year of it being here, the town will have lost TONS of mainstay businesses to the absolute crap they sell there.

And half the town will be on welfare.

10. i think he pulled this one out of his ass..

"because the local customers now have more discretionary income as opposed to money they spend on necessities."
