Good post Billy.
Unfortunately it appears more and more, that no one will be able to stop the train wreck that is right down the track.

The seatbelt light is on, we are about to experience turbulence.

Billy,

I may agree with some things you say about Walmart. However you should not discount several facts.

# 1 People have jobs because of Walmart. They employ thousands of people who would otherwise be without employment.
# 2 Walmart employs a good many unskilled people and elderly who could not work elsewhere
# 3 I have not read of anyone yet who has been forced to apply to Walmart for employment at the point of a gun.
# 4 Walmart supplies (Sometimes crappy but also many quality products) products that a lot of people could not otherwise afford.
# 5 Walmart does bring a lot of money into communities and into the government coffers.

If I find a deal on a product that I want I will shop at Walmart.... no problem. If I don't I do shop elsewhere.

Walmart just closed a bunch of stores recently. That means a lot of people are out of work and either living off those who are still working in America or they are struggling to find other jobs. I won't diss Walmart for the reasons mentioned above. Now, with the $15.00 minimum wage push for people who want entry level jobs to become their profession,many others will be sitting at home with the working man paying even higher taxes to support them. They call it free enterprise but that is simply another government oxymoron. It isn't free when regimes dictate what you must do at every level.

Entry level jobs are just that. With the government telling employers what they must pay for unskilled labor those jobs will disappear just like the over paid union jobs.disappeared.

I heard this morning that McDonalds is in the process replacing people with robots in anticipation of the unreasonable wages for unskilled labor soon to be put upon them. I am sure that when the bugs are worked out you will see these machines in most entry level positions. How many burgers can you sell to make up for 5 or 6 employees getting $15.00 an hour? A great deal of the day I have seen fast food employees just stand around talking and doing nothing.

The robots will not be cheap but they will work steady and not goof off at work. They may even get your order correct. Now that really would be something.

they(fast food cos.) ought to consider what mechanic's shops designate as "JOB SHOPS".. instead of a per hour wage earned, the mechanic's shops rent out booths to their mechanics and then make a "contract" as to what the draw(take) will be for the owner of the shop and what draw the mechanic takes in .. all jobs or "tasks" involving work on vehicles has a labor rate associated with them..r&r a clutch on an F-150 pays $475.00.. a GOOD mechanic can beat the time standard and make great money.. 70%/30% .. mechanic keeps $332.50 remainder goes to the shop..
make the burger flippers pay based on how many burgers he can shell out and pay them based on "productivity" and you will here the most complaints from inner-city burger flippers.. although they will probably make more money than a burger shop in Wellsville, Kansas..because the burger flipper in the inner-city of Manhattan will really be shelling out the burgers cause of the population of Manhattan N.Y. will allow more customers into the burger shack.. k

Except... "mechanics" ( I take exception to that because there are few mechanics left), as TECHS have skills. Burger flippers are just that, unless they develop other skills that are needed to advance. Skills such as business management, food management, leadership, public relations, government issues, and even advanced skills such as job creation...
I could teach my pig to flip a burger... Nix that... Second thought he would eat up the profits.

"Burger flippers are just that, unless they develop other skills that are needed to advance"

What on earth do you mean by that, Glen?

Today they are running the country from the very top all the way down.

That was funny and sad... You writing country songs again?

I absolutely agree with all the commie, liberal, progressive, muslim terrorists, and racial haters...

When Trump takes over the White House, it would be extremely "TACKY" to put up a billboard on top. TRUMP...

The forgotten fact. Trump has no reason to advance his career. Think about that...

MAYBE HE REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT AMERICA.

Not sure why you'd think that he has no reason?

Do you what kind of sweet business deals he can make when he controls the Executive Branch? I mean, the world is his apple. If there is anything that corrupts completely it's absolute power.

I hope he is able to withstand the temptation.

"I hope he is able to withstand the temptation."

Like thats gunna happen. He appears to have a total lack of self control already with his wild accusations being cast in all directions. He changes his stances on political and social issues more than people with incontinence change their depends. Civilization has to end some day. May as well be now.

YUP... He absolutely must start using a written script. TelePrompTers are wonderful. Paper works too.

I would prefer too chance everything with some one of success, than all the failed politicians. Sort of like God.

I would like to see America succeed again, in spite of the burdens of years of selfish interest. That means simply, every man, woman, and child has the opportunity to pursue life, liberty ,and happiness.

All I see is politicians that don't understand that, and stupidity that is easily controlled by the media.

In God We Trust... Trump doesn't measure up to that statement, he is just a man... But he doesn't intend or pretend, to make his importance greater than Gods.

This election has become so interesting. Will this be proof that there are no longer any values? Let's move on...

Or as has been said by so many. Let's face it, we're dead meat.

The Black Messiah will exercise his "Total Power" rendering the Constitution, The Bill of Rights and Freedom of the American People toothless, and there will be a few who will wish they had perhaps pressed for impeachment earlier on.

Does this mean... When Mr Trump becomes President Trump... No more free stuff?

The NWO will do everything within it's power to stop Trump ... even if it means destroying the world ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjcVhWFshJk ...one way or another this "world" is ending. Even as it now stands, even if nothing "Bad" happens any longer ... humanity has crapped it's own nest ... Fukushima alone is a bonafide ELE.
