I am stunned to read the comments from people. One woman called it liberal BS. Really??? I couldn't let that one go by. Why is it liberal BS to want a living wage? Why should some one have to work 35 hours a week instead of 40 so the company doesn't have to pay for benefits? Why should we have to subsidize these workers with low income housing and food stamps?
The Walton family hold more wealth than 40 percent of the rest of the country. How much is too much?
The Machinists union rejected an offer from Boeing to build the 777x here. People are all in a dither. Not because the Boeing offer was crap. They are in a dither because they think Boeing workers already get paid too much. So, the solution seems easy in some people's feeble little minds, how about the Wal-Mart workers who want more money, just go work for Boeing? Simple right?
I have a better idea. Why doesn't Wal-Mart pay their employees a living wage? It's not like they are asking for the moon. And, why doesn't Boeing appreciate their skilled workforce they have in the Northwest, and remember that they had to spend a bunch of money to correct the mess with the 787. That was some big savings there wasn't it??
So, I am staying home today, like I do every Black Friday. And, if I shop anywhere tomorrow, it will be at a local shop.
And, don't forget what this season is supposed to be about. Love, giving, family & friends. Merry Christmahanukwanska
