Sorry, I don't work at walmart so I don't pay minimum wage taxes.
This has nothing to do with my job so don't even [censored] go there.
Ass.
Hey if you dont' want to get personal, then don't use a personal comment. Dont' throw stones if you live in a glass house buddy.
Who made it personal? Oh wait, THAT WAS YOU!

Ignorant jackass [censored]! Don't you [censored] dare to assume anything about my intelligence just because I work at Wal-Mart. Classist [censored] like you can kiss my ass.

I wasn't sayin that it was funny because I was trying to be insulting. I thought that it was funny because the text book example of outsourcing is Wal-Mart. It is WHY truckers don't have the representation. If the #1 company in our country and in our economy is outsourcing jobs, and someone wants to defend the company that is costing the truckers' jobs, it is kind of ironic and funny. Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone here.

Explain to me how outsourcing and manufacturing goods overseas costs trucker jobs? Those goods made elsewhere don't magically appear in stores by themselves now do they? Last time I checked, teleportation was just a Star Trek fantasy, those goods have to get from the ship to the store somehow. If anything, outsourcing makes more trucking jobs.
Fortunately, I don't have to worry about my job at Wal-Mart being outsourced, a guy living in India can't stock the shelves or run a register in NM.

It isn't a simple as you think. There is an adverse overflow of people without jobs when companies outsource. When there is an outpouring of layman jobs (jobs that no skills are required) the ratio of jobs to workers goes down. With more workers in the search of jobs, the wage goes down. So with the outsourcing of jobs, YOU get paid less, cost go up, and there you have it, trucker protests.
I know that driving trucks is a skilled job, but it takes little or no schooling, so that is what I mean by layman jobs.

It's painfully obvious you have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

That's not even remotely the same thing as you making snide insulting remarks about my intelligence and my job.
