The Walmart affect on culture

Have a chuckle while you ponder why the world is so messed-up. Happy Easter and if you're going to put all of your eggs in one basket, sanitise them first. :whistle:

Oh Dear.................

It does make you wonder what makes them think of doing such things ...............but I guess it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things !

Happy (stay at home) Easter to all !

I think Sam Walton had more affect on our culture than most people can comprehend. He led the way in exporting jobs to third world countries, and was probably more responsible than any one person in the loss of millions of manufacturing jobs. Of course his stocks made quite few people rich, not just him.

Sometimes even a brilliant guy like me cannot see what is coming. I remember a conversation with a stock broker back in the 1960s -he was trying to convince me to buy a new stock offering. The price was only fifty cents a share, and he said some people thought it would be really a big thing. I listened to his pitch, but then I said "how many people are going to want to buy toys in a warehouse?"
