Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

Will liberals praise Obama? More people out on the streets and this means we need more immigrants to do the work nobody wants to do. I mean how many oranges are there to be picked?
Only if they all get food stamps, because more food stamps means we care more.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Maybe those stores tried to unionize. That's usually why Walmart closes stores.

I have prime to...and it does rule. I don't shop at Wallmart. Not for any ideological reasons...but mainly cause I can get better elsewhere. My wife used to buy me cheap clothes from Wallmart and I wouldn't wear them cause it looked cheap and I looked cheap wearing it. I told her not too cause I wouldn't wear it but she kept on buying it. So I bought her a cheap imitation diamond tennis bracelet for her from Wallmart and she got mad at me for buying her jewelry from Wallmart. Go figure?

Oh...I forgot...I buy fishing bait at Wallmart. It's the only place close to where I live that sells fishing bait.

It is and Amazon prime you can go both direction. They meet a wide array of quality from inexpensive (cheap) to luxury. In fact I'd argue that Amazon and its services like Prime, and services like those, are doing more damage to Wallmart brick and mortar stores than organized movements by employees to pay higher wages. In addition Wallmart is also now a player in online retail. Probably not a stretch to consider that this business model is impacting their brick and mortar stores too.
