The city would be far better off without a Wal-Mart. Really. It's Econ 101...

If Wal-Mart says that they're not going to come to your town, throw a fucking party. Wal-Mart usually results in a net job loss of 150 jobs and depresses the wages in the area.
Wal-Mart is a greater threat to the US than ISIS ever will be.

If you're going to call someone an idiot, you should spell "whining" correctly. Then again, you're not rich, so what the fuck do you know about anything? |

Nope,,, that is not the problem.... Why are you a minimum wage worker is the problem,,,, The answer to that is... There are far too many workers available even for high tech jobs in some cases, plus the US gov't colluding with foreign workers to allow then into the country to work for a fraction of the prevailing wage, and then the law of supply and demand takes over in the labor market. So, if there is a huge supply of labor, then each individual labor widget, a job, goes for a much lower price (wage) than it would if there were few of them in comparison to the number of jobs. And the problem is not too many people, the problem is too few jobs. Why are there too few jobs? Because the USA's highest-on-the-planet income taxes that businesses must pay cause manufacturing anything in the USA to be a foolish thing to do in comparison to constructing a factory in some country with lower taxes (that would be all of the other countries...) |

fortune.com/2015/07/30/15-per-hour-fast-food-prices/"As New York State moved closer to approving a $15 per hour wage for fast food workers last week, there was speculation about what such a hike would mean for consumers. A new study provides this answer: prices will increase ever so slightly. Researchers at Purdue University’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management found that raising pay for fast food restaurant workers to $15 an hour—the minimum wage that cities like Seattle and San Francisco have already adopted—would result in an estimated 4.3% increase in prices at those restaurants. That means the price of a $3.99 Big Mac would jump to $4.16. The study also found that offering health care benefits to fast food workers at restaurants with fewer than 25 full-time employees would have a minimal effect on prices because of current tax credits in the Affordable Care Act." I can sure afford 4.3% more for a fast food meal to keep the employees there from showing up at the welfare office and basically subsidizing the fast food restaurant. Its practically the same as the US Treasury shipping McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. the difference between what they're paying and a living wage, only it costs waaaaaay more because of all the gov't minions that are employed to handle the welfare program.
