I just got in a Twitter fight with a person
who said I was "insane" because I'm not grateful for all the jobs that Wal-Mart "provides" and I'm not grateful to corporations that "provide" "cars, buses, and planes." The initial issue was that I had tweeted, in response to the meme, "ITrustTheGovtLike", that I trust the government a lot more than corporations and the 1%.
Corporations are not charitable organizations. They do not "provide" anything. They are in business to make a profit. And the only reason they do not commit fraud and abuse more often is that there are laws and regulations to deter it. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair says it all. I had to stop when her Ad Hominem started.
OK, that is all. I'm still kind of mad that people can be that stupid though.

the average employee qualifies for the full spread of public assistance from rental assistance to food stamps to SCHIP for their kids.
What would cost customers for Walmart to be able to maintain its current profit margin while providing benefits to FT workers and $10/hr pay? An additional $0.10/customer per year.
Thinking that Americans should be grateful for those jobs is like the orphanage scene in Oliver Twist.
Please sir, may I have more?
It is good to have a home here where people where it is safe to be liberal after trying to spread the gospel to the great brainwashed masses!
