It has been said that facts are hard things. In the case of union thugs and the moronic “fight for fifteen” campaign that demands a $15 minimum wage for new workers without skills or an established work ethic, what it means is far fewer jobs and businesses finding new ways to automate. One example is the Wal-Mart store in Los Angeles Chinatown, a depressed area that has few, if any, large grocery stores and limited jobs to offer the citizens of the area.
For many years, the main shopping venues in the Chinatown were high priced liquor stores that carried limited grocery items and convenience stores, also with a very limited range of products. Finally, in September of 2013, Wal-Mart opened a 33,000 sq foot grocery and drug store in the area, and the locals flocked to the store for lower prices and a much better selection of goods. Also drawn to the store were the union hacks who demanded their piece of the pie. The union’s also bused in a union funded “ecology” group who protested against Wal-Mart for destroying the downtown area. Of course the “ecology” group would evaporate once Wal-Mart was unionized, but over 100 Wal-Mart workers preferred a steady job and better prices and selection, so they refused to support the union pressure.

I call b******t
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. There you go folks, reap what you sow!
Do not go there anyway.
Pauline Wallace. Who did Obama give 15.00 dollar jobs. The media failed to inform
They are closing over 100 stores has nothing to do with wages .
They’re closing 154 in the U.S.
That’s like 2 per state.
There’s like, 5 here in Pinellas County.
How many leftists are we going to see apologise for this or even admit they were wrong when we on the right kept telling them to stop or this would happen… they killed 10,000 jobs over being greedy little shits instead of appreciating actually having a job…
That’s not why they are closing. Look at how well Seattle is doing with a $15 minimum wage. You will then see Walmart is a terrible company; why they are closing is not because of the wage increase
Good!!!!!! No brains no 15.00!!!!!!!!!!
NO DOUBT
