You’re kidding right? You know they were actually training their employees to sign up for government welfare, right? Is that not subsidizing their business?

So what? No, it’s not.

On a practical level most of my coursework in college was a complete waste of time, and that even considers the coursework involved with my major.

That’s unfortunate. I have a different opinion.

A significant portion of much of one’s college coursework, outside of one’s major, is simply content knowledge pertaining to a subject. Most students are going to forget the majority of that content soon after they finish that class. That is a fact. The overwhelming majority if not all of it will have no practical application in what ever one’s job will be outside of college. That is a fact. For my area of science the job responsibilities/knowledge are very “niche” in that the job knowledge is very narrow aspect of science. So the fact is that for many people working in various science related positions will end up only utilizing a fraction of the coursework they took in their major.

Your opinion is noted. It is not a fact.

We already tried that. Remember Ford, Chrysler, and GM? What’s happening with them right now? The taxpayers never did make all of that money back.

[wiley8425]

Of course it is. If the Waltons paid more, their employees wouldn’t qualify for welfare. They’d make too much.

[wiley8425]

If you’re going to depend on government subsidies to pay your employees, might as well. They’re basically working for the government already.

Then leave it like it is.

It’s not Walmart’s job to make sure anybody is not on welfare. It’s anybody’s job. Don’t like the wages? Don’t work for them.

They don’t depend on any such thing. Walmart doesn’t set the welfare threshold.

I prevented the indoctrination. I know this makes some on the left bitter that they didn’t get a shot at indoctrinating them.

Yes. Bitter.

[wiley8425]

They don’t? Who sets their prices?

[wiley8425]

They don’t pay enough to not qualify for welfare. Kind of seems like they depend on welfare to pay part of their employees’ wages.

No, they don’t. The government sets the welfare threshold.

[wiley8425]

Sure. Leave prices where they are too. Everybody wins. Wait.

[wiley8425]

Based on what? What companies like Walmart are charging for their products/services in order to make “record profits.” It’s not that hard.

Perhaps it seems that way because you are a victim of propaganda.

Your (collective) employer owes you (collective) nothing more than a day’s pay for a day’s work at the agreed upon wage. That’s it.

Don’t like the prices? Go somewhere else. Walmart stuff is mostly crap anyway. Buy American.

[wiley8425]

While undercutting people who pay taxes at every turn so they can save money by costing the taxpayers more. The system that keeps perpetuating itself.

[wiley8425]

Can’t afford it. Don’t make enough money.

@wiley8425

Now you’re complaining about prices?

[WuWei]

@wiley8425

Can’t afford it. Don’t make enough money.

Then get another job.
