I Hope They Have Jars

We were out of mason jars in AZ for the better part of a month. They just reappeared one day a while back. Luckily I had bitched about it so many times that the wife remembers and showed up at home with 2 packages of pints and one of quarts.

I suppose that's one way to look at it. Using the same train of thought, I assume you don't buy anything from Amazon? Or Best Buy? Or the larger online tobacco retailers? I appreciate your sentiment but the reality is, these large conglomerates solve a need by consumers. Consumers have voted with their wallets and these guys won. It was inevitable. And don't be surprised if something comes along that makes WalMart extinct.

I am not arguing that hands-down Walmart rules the marketplace. What I am arguing is that especially in regard to sharing the wealth, it is fundamentally unfair. Yearly multi-billion dollar earnings and the select fatcat Waltons at the top who are already so fat that they can hardly walk, and who are corpulent by appropriating the surplus value of their employees? This is the typical behavior of the criminal classes, for which they should do time.

When Sam transitioned each of his three children inherited 40 billion. I would argue that they would never need more money. With 40 billion behind them, the honorable course would have been to share those earnings with the employees.

But oh no! That would be to disavow greed. They are steeped in greed.

So you're opposed to capitalism? Fair/Unfair? Did your Mommy tell you the world was fair?

Whole world is unfair. That's why we have freedom of speech to bitch about it
