Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

If googling (verb) was what you thought I did that made b-slapping you so easy to do, it begs the question: why did you not inform yourself first with a quick google-shot? Hmmm?

Is that what you thought you did?

I don't think that's possible, considering where you likely had your hands.

I knew very well what happened in Inglewood.

Obviously, it's all "talk" in Kirkland, and no thought.

No; it's what you assumed I did. Having trouble keeping up? If so, perhaps it's the more intellectually rich environment in upscale Kirkland, where Microsofties own many homes, Google has a campus, Costco started ("Kirkland" brand). But I merely speculate.

LOL.

I have to hand it to the lefty elite, they always end up neck deep in assumptions. I did business with the Kirkland Clan since they began. In fact back when Price Club invented the business, and before it was Price/Costco.

Why the attitude? Threatened, or is it something else?

You mentioned something about an intellectual environment, but a child can post they same way you are.

If you make assumptions about me or my sources of info, I'll slap you down.

Meanwhile, you assumed something about me: "Ah, well, I guess your quick google shot provided that bit of info. "

Also, you claim I'm a typical lefty and assume rather than query. Okay; where?

LOL.

Slap me down? On an anonymous blog?

Geeze, I guess the intellectual elite of the PNW have their sights set so low, even fantasy has to suffice for a lift.

I let life supply fulfillment, you should try it some time. You know, the "those who can, do, those who can't, talk about" kind of thing.

As to lefty, that's my claim, and it doesn't matter what you think. That's how it works. Very liberal = lefty.

To the matter at hand, why are you working so hard to avoid the questions? All the snarky attitude is doing is illustrating how little you have to offer on the subject.

free of bias, free of discrimination, level playing field ... being white and male doesn't matter (just a coincidence that for most of our history most of the most powerful and lucrative jobs have been held by white men) ... purely merit, right? LOL ...
Click to expand...
Yes, in fact. As free of bias as is possible. Each of the three of us has a different perspective. We prepare our rank ordered lists independently and then compare and argue. The three of us are equal in rank but one has the final say. Once she has approved it moves up the organization a level. The individuals there make sure that every part of the organization is evaluating all of its people as uniformly as possible.

We have very low turnover. I think we have lost less than ten people in seven years. We have over a hundred people.

Our goal is to reward highly the top performers. So that is what we do.

good for you, but please don't tell me that that is the way this country has run ... On merit? Please. But kudos to you if you run your business fairly.
 
Sisyphus said:
I know it and do not spin it (pretty labels); nor do I confuse it with mixed economies, such as ours.

That help?
Click to expand...
No. Not at all. Mixed economies are socialist economies. It is just a pretty label to make people comfortable while their chains are being completed. You believe you are highly educated. How many mixed economies have ever recovered and became more free and less authoritarian?

Every place I have every worked was based on merit.

The goal of any organization is to reward and keep its top performers. Fairness based on merit is essential.
 
Sisyphus said:
It's merely a function of being better educated and knowledgeable, and could happen to any one of us: smarten up and you'll undoubtedly abandon rightie myths about the economy, since the facts are quite compelling (Dems spend less on average, and grow the economy more, on average)

Care to prove that?

why is it that for all of this country's history the vast majority of the most powerful, most lucrative jobs have been held by white men? Merit?

I don't know why you would be so dismissive of what seems to me self-evident.

That's easy Jack ... it's because it's not even evident, let alone self-evident ... Jack, for this country's history white men have occupied the vast majority (at times exclusively) of the best paying, highest prestige, most powerful jobs while making up less than half of the population ... Merit? What's the basis of this white male supremacy?

It would seem so. Given that white men in this country held most of the jobs it seems reasonable.

best you can do? I'm disappointed Mister ... not greatly since you're not the deepest of thinkers, but I did expect something better than the white male supremacy argument ... I really do have to go ... you need to do some serious soul searching ... one day you're going to look in the mirror and not like what you see ...

I think you might be projecting out of your dark soul. I can only recall two things in my life that I am not proud of. One was done in error. The other in ignorance. Neither involved race.

Sometimes the truths are just simple if you are willing to see them. No one can hold you back as well as you can.

pathetic Jack ... why not narrow it to the last five minutes? ... later, I need a break from you cons ... good night ...

I suppose that means we are more robust than liberals. We don't tire as easily nor become exhausted as the liberals do by their pretense of deep thinking.
