I have less of an issue with that. The other two issues were more important to me. You can’t win them all

Missouri is my home state. I am glad this passed. Everyone should have the right to make their own decisions about their body.

Also, minimum wage increases seemed to have passed as well.

Wal-Mart does a lot of things I don't agree with. Their labor practices along with their sourcing and many other things make them the last place I will shop.

I sound agree price isn’t always the best factor to determine a monopoly.

Walmart use to go into a town, sell everything cheap and drive everything else out of business.

It’s one of the many reason I hate Walmart.

Growing up we have a cool downtown area. It wasn’t big but had a bunch of small stores. They all closed within a year of Walmart.

I mean yes but in the case no.

Most customers are not demanding it.

During the pandemic, hotel rooms rapidly escalated in prices. I travel often for work, and I noticed a huge different in cost. The rooms are also cleaned less often and there are fewer staff in the hotels. So yes, they need raises, hotel staff are hard working people that historically have been underpaid.

I noticed Vegas was not on the strike list. I suspect it's because they make pretty good money in Vegas working in hotels. Ironically it's union or the fear of unions that keeps the wages high. One hotel that was proud to be non-union said they would compare local contracts, tax the highest wage and add 20% as long as the staff did not attempt to unionize. Either way the union helped them get better pay and treatment.

The default for acquisitions should be no. Too many large companies buying small companies.

 

I went to see it last evening and I have to say it’s a wtf did I just watch experience.

 

I went to see it. It’s very non-political. If you are expecting a satire, it is not. If you want to see the other side owned. You won’t.

If you want to see how division is bad for the country, go see it. It’s a tense movie and well done.
