Politcal Memes, etc

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Yeah...looked over y/e wage comparables, this versus last, today for field staff

Some guys closing in on 200K with job performance bonuses included.

Literally ANYONE can make 6 figures in trades if they care to make any effort whatsoever.

Expat. Walmart made $166 billion in profits last year ending October 2024. They have 2.1 million employees world wide with most those employees making around $13.00 bucks an hour. Should they not be a little more generous to the staff that keeps their stores running that is key to that family profiting around $160 billion a year. As John Stewart says, the tax payers foot the bill for the social services programs required for Walmart employees to survive.
If you are a lazy dumb shit, you don't deserve anything more than minimum wage.
You don't honestly believe this right?

If people want more than to just making minimum wages and eke out a living, then they need to invest in themselves (learning a marketable skill) and work hard.

Will you guys cut it out! You're disrupting the light-heartedness of the meme thread ;)

Anyways, you're arguing about nothing. Dude's numbers are wrong. I think he's talking about quarterly revenue but I can't be sure.

Walmart's net income was $22B in the year ending October. Divide that into the market capitalization of $726B and you get a paltry 3% return for shareholders, which they deserve because they risked their capital.

It's a business, not a charity. They're paying the market rate. If you want to manipulate free markets then raise the minimum wage.

He was accosted is the parking lot of the ski hill today by a woman telling him to fuck off and that he doesn't belong in Canada anymore.

Has Canada ever had a Prime Minister a despised as him. One who needs to hide his whereabouts from Canadians so he can enjoy family time without harassment?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

You have to be completely deranged to accost a stranger in a parking lot. Not that I like Trudeau but that's what elections are for. Perhaps it was one of the Dude's hillbillies.
