Not obamas fault either. I'm telling you Walmart is slowly dyingWhat about the 7,000 jobs that Walmart cut while Obama was president? That was just one of the cuts under Obama

I'm not blaming Obama. I was just making a point.Not obamas fault either. I'm telling you Walmart is slowly dying
How about "God Emperor" ? That's what Ann Coulter called him.People who think ALL these announcements are Trump related are wrong. People who think ALL these announcements are Propoganda are also wrong.
And yes, both sides will dig in their heels and refuse to think they are wrong.
Trump is God or Trump is Satan. Take your pick America. There is no middle ground

Costco makes the bulk of its profits by membership fees. They make very little profit off product sales. I live in a rather wealthy area but people still want deals. There gas alone is 40 cents cheaper a gallon than the stations in the area. You also get 3% back on purchases if you are an executive member.
Place rocks. And u can return ANYTHING. People were returning Christmas trees AFTER Christmas. Not that I condone that shit. It's an incredibly run company. Many cashiers at my local Costco make 20-26 an hour. Awesome health care. Bonuses twice a year and a 401k
Sorry. I worked there from like 20 to 26. A great company. Seriously
Stock is also just under 200.00
WallStreet continually tried to get Mngt to cut employee pay n benefits but Sinegal(CEO at time) would have none of it.
I really don't understand why more companies don't treat their employees better
Cereal question:
What alternative is there to Walmart, for folks looking to do inexpensive shopping? I just don't see any alternative. Forget Amazon, cause a lot of stuff you either need it now or you got to inspect the stuff or look around at selections, before making your mind up.

eh, we could go back and forth there. I'll counter with the climbing work force participation, you'll post some graph that says Obama on it, we'll call each other names etc.
Things are going well, big businesses seem enthusiastic.
Good.
It seems obvious that some of these bonuses are propaganda designed to improve public opinion about the tax cuts.

Walmart isn't dying slowly. Not even close
I buy stuff off Amazon now and then, but it's not an option if you need something right now. Only the large grocery chains, big-box hardware stores and Walmart can provide for this.??
I think the thriving nature of amazon shows that it is the place to go or inexpensive merchandise.

For groceries and everyday, as SBJJ said, Costco is a go-too. Or, depending on where you live, there are many regional supermarkets that provide better wages and better products than Walmart.

Well I don't know the details. I just know from what I see in real life. The only Walmart I've seen close recently was because it was an old store. They relocated with a supecenter Walmart like 1 mile away from the one they closed.They have been. You don't consistently close stores because you are doing well
Groceries, some clothes, small hardware/tools etc..what percentage of your purchases are same day need? I would say not enough to keep all walmarts open -- which is why the reduction of store fronts for online
Groceries, some clothes, small hardware/tools etc..
Electronics and computer parts etc.. are bought online, unless I need something immediately, in which case I go to Best Buy.
Couldn't put a % figure on how much of my purchases are bought online, but it is much smaller than the number of items I buy from brick-n-mortar stores. But from a $ perspective, the bulk of my money is spent online or at auctions.
That's irrelevant since the economy under that tax plan was getting billions more in corporate tax revenue than it is now. The benefit of these sweeping cuts to taxes and regulations was that it's supposed to create more jobs to the point that eventually wages become competitive.
As far as this being in the works, @Seano, of course it was. While I am admittedly being a little facetious, the logic of the tax bill was supposed to change the trajectory of American corporations, which it clearly has not done. Also, since we know they were already shifting towards reducing jobs and pocketing larger margins through online sales, doesn't it calculate then that reducing the corporate tax rate in hopes of increasing jobs was the exact wrong thing to do?
Congrats on your wife having a job there.
As far as you not understanding why more companies don't treat their employees better....well, I don't know how you don't understand it. Costco is an outlier to proven capitalist logic, by which companies are insulated legally from making decisions that won't directly reduce costs and maximize profits.
