Too fucking funny

Though it bothers me to a degree that Wal-Mart has decided to cut their $1 (a whole fucking dollar--goddamn, now they can put the kids through Harvard!) premium pay for working Sundays--because it's another example of the working men and women of this country getting fucked out of money so the wealthy elite can have more (come on--with the "talented" leadership this company has they can't make up a lousy couple of thousand dollars a year per store? Sounds to me more like talentless leadership), I understand how they can justify it. Nobody does it any longer, and most companies stopped many years ago (I've been in retail nearly 30 years and both of the companies I have worked for stopped when I was still a young buck). No, what really bothers me is the narrative that Wal-Mart is trying to create--they're not the bad guys, the greedy workers are. "We regularly review our compensation programs, and are confident Wal-Mart's pay and benefits are as good if not better than other retailers," the article quotes a company spokesman as saying. Really? Isn't that comparable to someone saying they're the best cabbage farmer in Alaska? In the end, who really gives a fuck? Cabbage still sucks and so does the state of Alaska. And the media helps them: take a good look at the title of the article. "Chain to cut Sunday wages." Chain? Jesus H. Christ, Wal-Mart isn't a just a chain, it's the fucking biggest company in the world. Why wasn't the title of the article "Wal-Mart to cut Sunday wages"? How many people do you supposed read the headline and moved on, thinking it was just another Billy Bob's Grits and Shits? Am I just paranoid or are we really fucked? Peace, emaycee
