Wal-Mart Can’t Compete

Eventually, Wal-Mart is going to be everywhere and there will be no place left for them to go. Then what are they going to do? How will they be able to show increasing sales when that day comes, and it will come.

They keep jacking up prices to increase sales. Plus are still getting rid of higher paid associates.

then. managed what effect huge tree of my I even took had probably We need

Jane, the object of a capitalist company is to eliminate all the competition and then they become a monopoly.

As a monopoly they are free to run up their prices as high as they like (subject to people being able to afford them).

These days we don’t have too many monopolies, but we do have many oligopolies or shared monopolies. Good examples include cell phone firms where they all charge about the same amount for about the same level of service. Cable TV is another popular example.

There are some real niche monopolies. Unique prescription drugs are a good example. While a drug is under patent protection no one else can sell it. Some popular anti-cancer drugs which fall into this class sell for $100,000 per course of treatment. Pay or die, the ideal situation.

So don’t worry about Walmart, their rate of growth is slowing in the US (which is why they are moving into China, Mexico and Brazil), but they still have the ability to raise prices when it suits their purpose.

shut up walmart can compete with anyone and everyonr.

matt what is your job at walmart.

ma

I can’t imagine Mat’s job being more complex than say, cart boy.

Big D : Door Matt.

That’s so true, on so many leaves. It’s a shame that he’s too STUPID to know it. He votes against his own interests every time he casts a ballot in the direction of those that support WM and CAFTA.

But then again when someone that stupid, that works for a living and stands against the working class, he shows just how dumb you sound when you work for a living and think the way he does.

Bi D : There was a book written a few years back entitled"What’s the Matter with Kansas?” It basically questions why people vote in favor of certain candidates-and by doing so,against their OWN self interests...prejudice,fear,groupthink,brainwashing?

I will never allow your intimidations and falsehoods to keep me from my rightful place! I am the only short, little, angry balding man with the right to rule this world! Nobody gets in my way, I brainwashed Matthew Vantress to show the world my powers of making a total moron and ass kissing Walmart blowhard out of a doorknob. If you don’t meet my demands, I will unleash the ultimate weapon upon all of you justice seeking, family raising, honesty freaks, that’s right!! an even more moronic and Walmart ass kissing sicko version of Matthew Vantress. You will all beg for mercy and finally acclaim me as ruler of the Oregonian Moronic Robot Factory!!

No need to copy and paste your message four times Vantress.  If we wanted to read it again we need only look at every other blog you have posted on.  You are a very redundant, broken record.

Come up with some new material.  You being a ufcw member like twenty years ago when you were bagging groceries as a pimple faced teenager doesn’t prove any expertise on the matter.  Get with the here and now and what is relevant!

You currently have a good paying job with Teamster representation and benefits.  Be thankful for that as you could be working for far less money at your local Walmart!

By the way, YOU’RE WELCOME!  You should be thanking those of us that shop at the stores your warehouse supplies instead of berating us on a daily basis for not supporting their competition.  Finally get it through you thick skull.  Your job does exist because of the NON-Walmart consumer!

CSM, you will never get Matty V. to realize what is obvious to the rest of us.  He is a SHORT, BITTER. BALDING MAN with two failed marriages and very little to look forward to in life aside from crusading for Walmart and his porn fetish video collection.

Why yes Matthew, I know about your disgusting foot fetish.  Makes me wonder if you go around sniffing shoes in Walmart after women with sweaty feet have tried them on!

But What’s He Do After He’s Tired of Sniffing Shoes?

Not long ago, somebody posted a link to a video clip of a guy running up and down the aisles of Wal-Mart, choking the chicken.  Could this have been the wonderboy… matthew v?

That was what I wondered when I saw that clip!  Because it does kinda look like him.  Visited Arizona recently Matty V?

Don’t have the clip, but here is a news story about the masturbating bandit in question!

Hmmm.... ever been to Tulsa, m att hew?

Get with the here and now and what is relevant!
My point exactly—the UFCW is like, so...yesterday.

Anything or Anyone With Any Connection to Wal-Mart Is Fair Game Here, bbrd

<i>"so...yesterday?"

And what are you?  A throwback to the McCarthy era?

Screwedby,

“Anything or Anyone With Any Connection to Wal-Mart Is Fair Game Here”

And, just what is the connection of the UFCW to Wal-Mart?  I don’t remember hearing anything about the UFCW having anything connection with Wal-Mart, other than their trying to ‘force’ themselves on Wal-Mart’s employees!!  I would think that Wal-Mart has NO intent to ever have any connection with the UFCW!!

Try this for a connection…

From the Nation Labor Relations Board-

Over the past 10 years, the NLRB or its administrative law judges have determined in at least 11 cases that Wal-Mart or individual Wal-Mart stores were engaging in unfair labor practices to prevent unionization, according to the agency’s website. In that same period, both Target’s and Costco’s records appear to have remained clean. An excerpt from one of the decisions against Wal-Mart gives a sense of the extent of the violations:

The Respondent, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., its officers, agents, successors, and assigns, shall:

1. Cease and desist from

(a) Promising to remedy employee concerns in an effort to undermine support for the Union.

(b) Removing supervisors from their position in an effort to undermine support for the Union.

(c) Engaging in surveillance of the union activities of employees.

(d) Coercively interrogating employees concerning the union sympathies and support of other employees.

(e) Installing new equipment to remedy employee complaints in order to undermine support for the Union.

(f) Transferring employees into the TLE [Tire Lube and Express division] to dilute the support for the Union.

(g) Transferring employees into the TLE to remedy employee complaints about inadequate staffing in order to undermine support for the Union.

(h) Transferring employees out of the TLE in order to dilute the support for the Union.

WalMart and the UFCW

Sam Walton again on exploitation of people/labor-

Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton once said, “I pay low wages. I can take advantage of that. We’re going to be successful, but the basis is a very low-wage, low-benefit model of employment.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wal-Mart#_note-
iswalmartgood

“Is Wal-Mart Good for America?” PBS. November 16, 2004. Retrieved on February 24, 2007.

“Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example.” Mark Twain, Pudd’nhead Wilson (1894)

The reality on WalMart behavior-

Wal-Mart’s strong-arm approach is the product of a simple cost-benefit analysis. As Thomas Cochan, a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, explains, “we have a law that is no longer serving its basic objective of providing people with the ability to organize. The incentives are too weak to keep companies from violating the law if they don’t want to comply.” The National Labor Relations Board can order an employer to rehire a terminated employee and to pay back wages, but it can’t impose criminal penalties or punitive damages. This is rather like telling a bank robber that the penalty for a failed heist is being required to return the money to the bank. And Wal-Mart takes full advantage of such laxity. Store managers are equipped with 56-page pamphlets titled “The Manager’s Toolbox to Remaining Union Free,” and representatives from the “People Division” in Bentonville are flown out at a moment’s notice if there are any signs of union activity. According to a 2004 report in The Nation, stores even administer personality tests to applicants to screen out potential union sympathizers.

WalMart’s illegal union busting tactics

WalMart has poisoned its own well and will never be able to recover. The simple fact of the matter is that America will not tolerate this kind of corporate behavior as they find out about it. Therefore WalMart must play an insane game of false Public Relations to deceive the U.S. population and this will develop even more rejection and resentment of what they are doing as a business practice. The critics are not to blame or the unions or other social observers. The Bentonville ‘love of money’ psychopaths and their unChristian/unAmerican attitude in business are expressly responsible for all of the stink that surrounds WalMart. These people are Globalists at any expense and for them Christianity and the moral/ethical interests of Americans is meaningless. They are leaders in exactly what this country does not need.

“The Shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as a destroyer of liberty.” Abraham Lincoln

SDV,

“And last year, organized labor put together two Washington-based groups: Wake Up Wal-Mart, backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), and Wal-Mart Watch, supported by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).”

Sounds like the unions putting their noses in Wal-Mart’s business, I don’t think that Wal-Mart asked them to do this!!  Seems this is ‘foced’ association (connection)!!  Kind of like ME, coming to your home and trying to tell YOU how I want you to live and then claiming a ‘connection’ between you and me!!

IT’S THE LAW!!!!!!!!!

By your logic; if I don’t agree with a LAW it should be fine to break it, after all it was forced on me, and there fore it doesn’t really apply to me.

Our society does this all the time. After all we are a nation of laws. I don’t agree with MANY of them but I do try to obey them. I can’t pick and choose which laws I feel like obeying. WM has NO less responsibility to do the same; in fact they have a moral responsibility set the example.

You have posted on many occasions that WM has in your words “they have NOT broken any laws regarding the unions”. So that defense is ether a lie or you are just very blinded to the truth. Now, when you are faced with the facts you change your tune to the “well that law is not fair to the poor company” song and dance. Bob, you can’t have it both ways!

Big D and SDV: ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross has an excellent story today on the web about Hillary Clinton and WalMart in relation to unions .( Lots of video clips of speeches she made while on WalMart board.)Speaking of laws,they are useless unless they are enforced. The Department of Labor under Bush’s administration has been the biggest union busting tool since Ronald Reagan busted the unions back in the early years of HIS presidency. How ironic that Reagan was a Democrat AND President of Screen Actors Guild PRIOR to becoming a Republican and union buster.)

Big D,

Please point out a site I can go to, to see the LAW that says that a union has the right to harrass a company and it’s employees without being asked by the employees for representation!!  A union, is not allowed to just pick a company at random and try to unionize it, it must be sought by the employees!!

ddrb,

“How ironic that Reagan was a Democrat AND President of Screen Actors Guild PRIOR to becoming a Republican and union buster.”

Shows that people can change, once they see the “Big Picture”!!

Remember when Reagan was trying to BLUFF the Russians with ‘Star Wars’ and the Democrats kept yelling to the media, “Star Wars, it can’t be done”, kind of like they now want to give the terrorists a ‘heads up’, by telling them with a withdrawal ‘time line’, as to when they can take over in Iraq!!

You’ll Never Get It, RDS!

You’ll never see the “Big Picture,” RDS.  You fell asleep after the movie started!

Screwedby:Ever notice that when a Reublican changes,it’s cosidered “evolvement”,but when a Democrate changes a position it’s called a “flip-flop”? How about “liberate Iraq for democracy”,yet liberal and democratic are dirty words of disparagement when used INSIDE the U.S.? The word liberty is derived from the same word as liberal-so those who impugn “liberal” are also slurring “liberty”,also. Yep,come to think of it ,OUR U.S. liberties are fewer everyday,and have been getting quite a few black eyes,to boot, from the very folks who wish to liberate OTHERS,abroad.

P.S. Screwed ,re: RDS’s exceedingly constricted and narrow viewpoint-perhaps a congenital and/or hereditary case of oculis rectus sphinctus.
