Again, let's discuss some 'money where the mouth is' philosophy again.

What have all you hippyish tree huggers done to stem the tide of corporate take over? Oh wait...that's right - NOTHING.

I'm happy the city of Chicago has just passed a law requiring big-box stores to pay their workers a livable wage, such that someone working a 40 hour week is just above the poverty level.

This works out to roughly $10/hour and $3/hour in benefits.

Wal-Mart is already suing.

HD pulled out of Buenos Aires years ago, as they found people didn't want to shop there, preferred to support the mom and pops.

Great that there seems to be a move toward that here. I support my local mom and pops as much as possible. In fact, dh who is a whizz at stuff, says that often mom and pop places are cheaper than HD. Pays to shop around, because most people assume the opposite.

I believe I fit the definition but I don't think anyone would call me a troll.

Perhaps if they applied themselves to life and education, they wouldn't be reduced to scanning groceries for $7 an hour. Nobody in my family ever lowered themselves to such modern slavery. Thank God for initiative, education and networking.

Fortunately, I'm more than happy to profit from the poor life-choices of the proletariat.

You're so out of it. Hippyish tree huggers as a denigration is so demodé. It is in to be green, or haven't you noticed.

The only green I care about is the roll of bills in my wallet.

What I want to know is, why do you all have a mental record of every previous username and account? I thought the postcounts that were in the realms of 10,000s was pathetic enough, but apparently y'all have the memberlist mentally stored too.

You guys do exist off this forum too...right?

I was thinking I had heard these pathetic lines before.
