Great article.

Thanks for posting it.

Looking forward to part two.

Look at the bright side, maybe Willard could run the 4th time and win. Then he could repatriate his billions he doesn't/never did pay taxes on for free, and do things like privatize college loans and end school lunches.


Just get another job ya bum, so what if you already work 16/7.

Well, once we all come to face that we all exist to serve the rich, everything will be just fine.

What we need is a doubling down on Supply-side economics so more wealth can trickle down and make it alright.

I'm sure now the Republicans control the two branches in January it will be address and fixed!

America was self contained and was prepared to pay living wages even
in inefficient industries.

With the internationalized America those good paying jobs for high school grads
are not coming back. They exist in patches of the economy, like fracking/oil.

The jobs could pay since profits are way up. One would think that management would be embarrassed by all the recent articles. One might also think they would have the simple intelligence to realize that a consumer driven economy needs consumers.

From what I have read Sam Walton was a decent sort. That goes to show the error of having wealthy parents. I doubt that his children ever put in an honest day's work in their lives and a more miserable lot I have never seen.
